If approved, one of the Marionettes will cast the turning spell on the vamp’s blood before they feed it to their human, kill them, then feed them more blood upon their awakening.” “And then…?” Kirby makes some vague gesture with her hands. “And then the new vamp has to be monitored to make sure the turning didn’t go wrong. If they show signs of being unmanageable, they’re put down.”
