• Blessed holy symbols, examples: crucifixes, bibles, prayer beads, repel vampires, but only if they are blessed and the wielder has faith. When pressed to or put close to a vampire's skin, the item heats up, then catches fire with a white-blue flame, so hot only a few seconds contact will result in a second degree burn - any longer and it gives 3rd degree burns and can get hot enough to melt the metal of the symbol. When not touching the vampire's flesh, the item glows a brilliant white, the glow of which hurts and damages vampire eyes.
• Silver can harm them and force them to heal almost as slowly as a human, but not necessarily kill them. The metal added to fresh wounds and make the scars permanent.
• Holy water burns and corrodes their flesh like strong acid, leaving ugly, twisted scars of melted flesh. As soon as it touches them, their flesh starts to bubble and boil.
• Sunlight, unless they are daywalkers, exposure to sunlight causes them to burn.
• Fire, Flame; vampires are highly combustable and will quickly burn to just ash. Flame is the only way to truly kill the rotting form of vampire.
