    Let’s do the math…

    You can donate three times a year to the red cross (once every 112 days). According to some page, you donate around 10% of your blood volume each time.

    That means, for a volume equivalent of 300 people, you’d need to donate 3000 times, which would take around 1000 years.

    The vampire is going to need more people, or to keep a person alive 1000 years with vampire magic.

      When you’re harvesting the blood iron of your enemies you don’t have time for ethics. A controlled study managed 4 weeks within ethical boundaries, maybe we can cut that in half unethically. So 14 days, 3000 . 14 = 115 years. So when you torture two people, you could manage to do 58 years. Better start early!
