Dracula's Rubies

Dracula created 13 rubies with his last tears. He gave one to each clan and each one has a special power.

The rubies are connected, and one power lies in each of them. Clans in possession of a ruby have the ability to use the power of that ruby. More rubies means more powers for a clan. The rubies are connected, and clans can communicate with each other by using them. If a ruby is lost or taken from a clan, the power that lies in the ruby is lost also and cannot be used by the clan anymore.

The Dracas Ruby

This grants the users telepathy, allowing them to read minds. Users can also enter the mind of another but it is dangerous and so is forbidden.

The Vamalia Ruby

The Vamalia ruby is said to have the power of love although this power has not been explored very much (as of the end of season 1).

The Nosferas Ruby

Vampires are generally unable to enter holy grounds or touch holy objects but the Nosferas ruby allows them to desanctify or 'deholyfy' the objects, allowing them to, for example, hold a cross or read a Bible. This can be achieved by chanting a phrase in Italian.

The Pyras Ruby

The Pyras ruby allows them to communicate with animals which is useful if another vampire has shapeshifted into one.

The Vyrad Ruby

This allows them to control and manipulate the weather however it is tiring and so is more powerful and stable when done by multiple people.

The Lycana Ruby

This was one of the lost rubies - it allows one to shapeshift into an animal and back however if you lose the ruby while in animal form, you would be stuck in that form.

The Upiry Ruby

Another lost ruby, this allowed its people to travel with the shadows.

The Vikla Ruby

This grants the vampires the ability of telekinesis, meaning the users are able to move things with their minds.

The Grimur Ruby

This allows them to 'take light' - the Dracas clan used it to create the Northern Lights, providing them with a light source that would not harm them as fire and sunlight would.

The Arrufat Ruby

This allows its users to communicate with the dead.

The Belov Ruby

The Belov ruby allows vampires to walk in sunlight unharmed, rather than burning.

The Caminada Ruby

The Caminada ruby grants the users invisibility.

The Tova Ruby

Usually vampires are unable to move in water as they petrify and become unable to move when in water (though they can be telekinetically moved by another party). However this would allow them to move underwater.
