Vampire Awakening and Turning: is it Even Possible to be Turned Into a Vampire?

Damaged/Missing Chakras; Energy Deficiencies; etc

 

If this is the explanation for vampirism, it wouldn’t make sense for someone to deliberately damage or handicap themselves in this fashion, so unless someone already has this condition, there’s no benefit in being Turned.

 

In theory, this kind of damage can be caused by giving too much or for too long as a donor, and I have heard of people believing they have been Turned this way. I have heard of more instances, though, of donors who only became vampiric temporarily, but go back to normal once they have “healed” or spent time away from their vampire. Michelle Belanger calls this “sympathetic vampirism” in her book, The Psychic Vampire Codex.

 

This is a subject of much debate in the vampire community. Many do not believe it is possible to be Turned into a true vampire, but only to be made temporarily vampiric until the effects of feeding wear off.

 

Virus or other outside pathogen

 

In this scenario Turning would be possible as a form of infection, but it would require exposure to another (vampire) who is already infected, or exposure to the environmental factor that has caused others to Turn. (At this point, such a pathogen is unknown; The Science of Vampires suggests chemical pollutants or nuclear radiation as possibilities). This explanation seems unlikely, based on vampire experience. I have not heard of any “infecting” their donors in such a fashion.
