- Stone Mask: A mask used in sacrificial Aztec ceremonies. When touched by blood, it shoots out a mass of bone spicules that stimulate the victim's brain, causing a vampire transformation.
- Hamon: A technique whereby the energy of life is accumulated in the practicioner's blood by breathing in a special way. In the East, it is known as Sendo. This 'life energy' is much like rays of sunlight, and harms vampires and Pillar Men.
