The undead may be onto something. Young blood, it seems, has special healing properties that have been lost in older blood. A recent finding by scientists from the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, and Duke University challenges long-held ideas about why our bones have a harder time healing as we age.
Their research discovered that old mouse bones mend like youthful bones do when they're exposed to young blood after a fracture. As you get older, the blood cells change the way they behave when you have an injury, and as a result the cells that heal bone aren't able to work as efficiently.
When a bone is fractured, significant bleeding occurs at the site. However, Damon said that the witch Emily Bennett spent years learning how to do such spells, implying that they are very difficult to master or they require a greater power and focus. Ayana , a Bennett ancestor, was her village's Healer indicating her skill level and proficiency over this delicate and tedious form of magic. Esther once pleaded to her to save her son , though she claimed that the spirits would not give them a way as he had already passed on.
This would have thus required a resurrection spell, which went against Nature, which Ayana served devoutly. One of the only witches shown actually using a healing spell on herself was Bonnie Bennett , who at the time was using Expression , and was able to recover and retaliate quickly from a vampire attack. Freya Mikaelson and Dahlia are two of the most recent witches to display this power. Freya performed this spell a total of three times: To heal Rebekah's hand in the body of Eva , and twice to restore the bodies of Vincent and Eva so that Rebekah and Finn's spirits could possess them after they died, respectively.
Given their ages biological a thousands years and the power they accumulated, this was considered to be an easy feat. These spells have there limits and seem to only work on the physically or mortally wounded, as given Freya's power, could not heal herself from the poison in her body, or the Beast's bite Camille O'Connell received that resulted in her death. Immortals have an extreme healing factor on par with that of vampires. They can heal from anything like knife wounds to gunshots.
According to vampiric legend, vampires have no pulse, no breath, do not eat and are for all intents and purposes dead.
Over the centuries, vampire lore has moved from attributing the cause of vampirism from supernatural or spiritual phenomena to scientific reasons, such as an inability to sustain hemoglobin. If we follow these rules to through to conclusion, vampires would have no ability to heal themselves, due to the fact that post-mortem wounds do not coagulate.
This runs contrary to the vampiric attribute of accelerated healing. Improve this question. Valorum k gold badges silver badges bronze badges. Louie Louie 1 1 silver badge 5 5 bronze badges. It quite possibly also depends on what sort of bullet it is. Vampires in Underworld are susceptible to UV rounds, which are bullets that contain some sort of glowing liquid.
Regular bullets don't hurt them as much. A regular bullet couldn't make a dent in them. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer. Community Bot 1.

Diamonds can be shattered, even with bullets.
The fact that they can be shattered is a function of their brittleness, which is distinct from hardness. Carbon nanotubes are a substance that is similar in hardness to diamond, but much less brittle--see this article which mentions that "Carbon nanotubes, due to their unique combination of high elastic modulus and high strain to failure are capable of elastically storing an extreme amount of energy, which can cause the bullet to bounce off or be deflected".
This seems to be a comment on Adamant's answer rather than an answer to the question. Here's the short answer - NO. Here's how I know: youtube.
