Just before starting, Ikaris suddenly paused and asked Magnus,
"What about sunlight vulnerability? I don't wear enchanted rings like Malia and unlike her, I won't be a Dhampir but a full-blown Vampire. Am I not in danger of catching fire at the first light of dawn?"
The old Archmagus had listened to his misgivings many times before, and he was quick to reassure him in a honeyed voice,
"Stop fretting, I've already promised you that I'll lend you one of my old rings so that you won't suffer from this inconvenience. With the Constitution and Vitality provided by your other Bloodlines and the fact that you are far from being a Vampire Progenitor, the curse shouldn't be too burdensome to bear even without the ring..."
