  After I learned how to do the vampire lord drain spell glitch I wondered... Could the same be done for vampiric grip? I had the raise dead spell from vampire lord form after one test, so it wasn't implausible. After testing I have realized it is possible, here are the steps on how to obtain it (or the paralyze spell or the gargoyle spell, it works for all of them). Steps: 1. Equip Conjure Bound Sword in your left hand 2. Use Vampire Lord power and immediately Cast bound sword 3. When transformed, equip the left hand spell you want to have. 4. Change power to Revert Form 5. Use Revert Form, wait untill your screen gets blurry and then VERY QUICKLY bring up the quick select menu. It should show that your left hand spell is still equipped, this is a lie. 6. VERY QUICKLY Press to equip the spell, when you do everything should disappear except Vampire's Sight 7. Exit quick select menu and quickly charge left hand spell until you revert 8. You should now have the left hand Vampire Lord spell in your human hand. (Note: with the vampiric grip power, when used your character will grunt as if in pain even when he/she is taking no damage, you also cannot summon two gargoyles even with the twin souls perk or the amulet, and you can't extend the duration) Have fun tossing giants in human form guys :)

  If someone could post a video demonstrating it, I would appreciate it, I would do it, but iPad quality is abysmal at best

  New discovery, even if you transform back into VL form, you don't loose the spells when you change back, might want to add this to any builds that use vampire grip *looks at Ponty's nightguard*

  The point of the Nightguard is that the fighting styles/purpose of vamp lord and human form are different, using grip would mean I can't use a shield!

  Might add something about it to Arcane Assassin or something later, stealth + quiet casting + grip could be absolutely hilarious

  Does your character grunts when using vampire lord's drain health spell too?

  I am not totally sure if the drain health ability still works for it, I usually used it in stealth to pull enemies off from high places, so I never really absorbed anything (I am now a human so I can't test it yet, I'll have to finish the dawnguard Questline)
