Entrance and Drain Life would be something like...
Vampire Magic 18W2 (Entrance, Drain Life, Turn To Bat (+20), Turn to Smoke (+20), perhaps something like Stolen Affinity (various 1 time only feats), other vampire magic stuff)
The +20 is indicative that some magics in Glorantha (mind reading, shape shifting, Flying) are big ticket items and have additinal resistance. Killing someone is easy. Reading their mind without turjing it to toast is tougher.

Allies: Fanatic worshipers
Magic (whatever they get for affinities)
But remember, we're all reasoning without the rules....
Probably be MUCH more detailed. I suspect there will be a lot of samples in both the main rules AND in the Gazetter.
Oh, the artwork for Anaxial's is INCREDIBLE. Heather B's pencil and ink work is very dramatic. Some of the best Gloranthan artwork since KODP.
