Hi Draconia,
If you can afford it, it is definately worth paying the 5000 for the licence, then you can prep your team in advance with defensive spells like Aid, Bless, Chant, Defensive Harmony. Negative Plane Protection on your front line fighters is a must against vamps, you still take damage but they wont get level drained. Use Aeries Turn Undead button, it wont affect the tougher Vamps, gut it does have some effect on the lesser ones. If you pick up Viconia, she has an excellent Repulse Undead spell that works very well against many Vamps. Just beare in mind if you use Turn Undead or Repulse Undead that if your Animated dead get too close to them they will likely explode. Then you can also use your offensive spells that will hurt them. Animate Dead is a fantastice spell against Vamps, Undead do very well against undead. Summon animals, or monsters too, they will die, but buy you valuable time while the vamps deal with them.
On a good note, when you finish all the Thief quests you will be able to pick up Edwin who is the best NPC Mage in the game, he's got real Juice!
How are you doing with Jaheira's curse, did you get Ployer yet?
