To use Vampire Seduction in Skyrim, you first need to ensure you are at least at Stage 2 of vampirism, with a 30% weakness to fire, and then you can equip and use it like any other power after not feeding for 24 hours, allowing you to seduce NPCs, including potential feeding targets, by pressing the action button and choosing feed when they are under the effects of your seduction. The Vampire Seduction ability will be available under the Powers section of the Magic menu once these conditions are met, offering a unique way to interact with the game world as a vampire.
