SPOILERS AHEAD:

Hey, Sarel! Cyh here. Just wanted to add in that most newborns and fledglings can be killed via decapitation/decoronation (removal of the heart--I call it that). The age range where this works is pretty variable because it depends on the age of their maker--like, it would be really hard to kill Nick this way because Andris' blood is so insanely old. The same applies to Lynn because Simone was already an ancient at the time of her fledging. The effect is somewhat cumulative through the generations, but the further the blood is from a particular individual, the more it takes on the traits of the current generation. Fledglings tend to be significantly weaker than their blood would normally dictate later down the line. Basically, without massive amounts of power behind the initial transformation, a fledgling's resilience to damage is much less. Chapter 23 will be much more helpful than I can be.

I feel like I need to write a math equation now...I'll get on that...eventually...

Ah, math sucks.

Oh, and it might be good to note that Fire Poison kill a Shimare at any age, assuming that they don't flush out the poison with plenty of powerful blood the way Andris and Lynn did.

As far as I can tell, Fire Poison is the only way to kill Andris...if he lets it happen, of course. Millennia from now, the same should apply to Nick.
