If you saw my last video with this particular Vampire, you might have been disappointed that I never actually killed it. He was impossible on that character. This time I'm a Nord Vampire Sorceror, but it wasn't a whole lot easier.
The only reason I won is because I have spell absorption due to my Atronach sign (well... I setup the perks like the Atronach from later games, with stunted magicka, magicka bonus, spell absorption, etc; Daggerfall has no birthsigns).
I purposely used up all my mana before the fight, and so I absorbed a lot of his opening spells. I had to use even more throughout the fight because he was sending so much mana my way. I'd estimate he threw something like 400 mana worth of spells. On my Jagar Tharn video (The final boss of TES1) I killed him with one spell that was around 100 magicka. So this vampire dealt enough damage to kill the final boss of TES1 four times over in a matter of like 5 seconds, and I managed to soak it up through spell absorption and healing spells. I can only hold 183 mana so I had to keep using it in order to hold it all!
NPCs CAN run out of mana on Daggerfall, I've seen liches run out after 4 or 5 spells, so they must've just given Vampire Ancients an insanely unfair amount of Magicka.
Btw have you found "Daedra Lords"?.

@CommunistSpyware Yeah but I think Vampire Ancient's are stronger.
Now the Battlespire Daedra Lords on the other hand.....
