That's the same sort of thing we've been considering, that Dimitri seems to be able to do things that we thought Strigoi couldn't do.

maybe its because hes just different and Not meant to be strigoi and still has a soul but dosent release it yet ?? because he still has a heart beat and DEAD people are not supposet to have heart beats .

All very good points...who knows really

RM knows lol
but i dont think she will let us know until its reviled in the story . lol
witch could eaither be one or two books away lol

Yeah, but I suppose it's that whole "if you don't ask, you won't know" sort of thing

I thought that strigoi couldn't touch silver because it has harmful effects on all magical creatures, at least thats what all the myths/legends say. And strigoi also couldn't touch the stakes in particular because the magic is filled with life, which strigoi don't have. But it seems as though spirit is more death than life to me. I mean, think about it. It can bring people back from the dead, and it makes people depressed, and suicidal. Oh, and Rose is connected to the magic, and she can see dead people's souls, or whatever. I think that if spirit was full with LIFE, then it would have POSITIVE side effects. So maybe, if spirit isn't filled with life, like the other elements of magic, then strigoi can touch it. Just tossing another theory out there.

but spirt brings people back and gives them life again
and the ghost thing isnt really a spirt thing it comes from being shadow kissed

just like SecretMagic, i too am going to the Aussie VA afterparty.
so, just to help SecretMagic out a bit and so she doesnt have to remember 50 questions to ask richelle, i'd be happy to ask some of your questions too if anyone wants.
also -
this may be a bit off, but richelle didnt exactly mention what dimitri was wearing at all the times in the book,
therefore - if anyone can remember the movie 'Blade', the vampires in that were unable to touch silver, but some were wearing gloves so really, it didnt touch the skin it touched the material.
he could have then simply pulled the stake out like he had down with the wooden chair leg.
its basically the same as the previous blanket theory

It just seems to me that spirit is more negative-death than positive-life, like the rest of the elements. I mean, air users don't have creepy side-effects from using their magic, because its filled with life, right? But so why does Lissa get negative side-effects - depression - when she uses HER magic? I just don't think that spirit is filled with life, like the rest of the elements are.

I agree, that Dimitri could've been wearing gloves. In fact, I think its highly plausible.

I like what you were saying about spirit not being all about life like the other elements. That makes sense. Strigoi can't touch things that were forged with life through the other four elements such as stakes and wards. The ring was forged from spirit and heals the darkness temporarily. So it's possible that Dimitri was able to touch the ring and be himself again. So now Rose has to convince Dimitri to wear the ring long enough to grasp his humanity and convince him to be healed via the fairy tale. As for touching stakes I don't buy the gloved theory though because like I said before if it were that simple and easy the strigoi would just wear gloves and stake their own wards. Then all moroi wouldn't be safe anywhere anymore and they'd be nearly extinct if they were that easy to get to.

true.
well theres another theory?
just like they explained in shadow kiss - the wards that surround the school eventually fade and they re-newed it every two weeks.
rose had been away from the academy for more than two weeks, so it might have faded.
the strigoi may have then been able to touch it?

Thanks... I live in Florida and I don't think she is coming here...

[quote]I'll ask if no-one else does, but I don't see her until the last signing event in Australia so we might be waiting a little while.

My last post was to that statement... I couldn't figure out that quote thing...

I reckon in places the wards are likely to fade if not applied frequently enough...but not in heavily guarded places. People are way too concerned about possible strigoi attacks, even more so now that they've been attacked already.
But, the stake might have faded, yeah. Although they probably last longer than wards because they're enfused with magic and not just surrounded by it. It might explain why Dimitri was able to hold onto Rose's new stake though, because we don't know how long it had been in the vault for.

No problem

To the whole Dimitri holding the stake infused with magic thing-

I've read a fanfiction- yes i know its a fan fiction and nothing to do with the books- but it got me thinking about the wards and stakes infused with magic. Maybe, just maybe, Dimitri being able to hold rose's stake isn't a stroigi thing- but its a Dimitri thing.

Maybe only Dimitri could hold Rose's stake infused with magic- because well he's Dimitri. Maybe he does possess a little of his old spirit which makes him able to have contact with magic-not long or fully- but shortly.

That would make sense on why he didn't die at the end, he would have had to remove the stake somehow and it didn't kill him.

this is just a guess but what if Dimitri's body hit a rock in the river and that dislodged the stake. HE would've been able to wake up and swim to shore.

not yet,but I've read the predictions following you.thanks,very wonderful
