Raziel: Well, being a vampire isn't totally what everybody thinks. We can go out in the sunlight, as you can see know. We generally do "live" forever, but we do have some weaknesses. Garlic, crosses, and holy water don't do much. Fire does, becuase you have to have a body left to still be "alive." A wooden stake to the heart probably would, seeing as you need you heart still to pump the blood you drink throughout your body. Some poisons work, and even though it probably won't kill you, most vampires don't hold alcohol well. Wine is the strongest thing I can drink, and only in moderation.
Raziel paused, letting that soak in.
Raziel: As for turning, you normally do begin by sucking the person's blood, but not so much that they die. You can't even make them pass out, so it usually takes practice to get it right. Then they have to drink the blood of someone else, but they have to make their own kill. Whenever I drink, I always turn them, so as to not kill them. I still have that much morality in me. There's also some self-turning ritual I heard about, but what's the point in that?
