Lunar vampire venom

Lunar vampire venom is an ability/weapon that the original lunar vampire, and lunar vampire use against vampires, and originals. It is secreted through their fangs which allow them to be transferred through a bite.

The venom is secreted through the salivary glands, lunar vampires usually use this as a weapon against vampires, and originals, and is one of the easiest ways to kill a vampire.

Non-original lunar vampires
non-original lunar vampires can activate this ability at will by activating their true face.

Original lunar vampire
this can be activated when they use their true face

Effects
Whenever a vampire is bitten by a lunar vampire or hybrid, the venom will be transmitted into the vampire's bloodstream from the lunar vampire's mouth. Once the blood is contaminated by the toxin, the vampire's heart will pump the venom throughout their entire cardiovascular and systemic circulatory system, during which time it will infect every cell in the vampire's body.

A lunar vampire's bite will cause a vampire extreme pain, and hallucinations of their worst moments and darkest fears, unlike a werewolf bite, the vampire doesn't become rabid. They are rather in a good headspace. the lunar vampire toxin, seems to run through a vampires system faster than a werewolf bite, killing them in hours. (without the aid of magic, and/or a non-original lunar vampire's blood).

The effects of Brandon's venom, (the original lunar vampire) is much stronger and much more fast acting. depending how old the vampire is when they were bitten determines how fast the venom the venom goes through their system. His venom severely deteriorates the vampires body. Newly turned vampires will die within hours of being bitten by Brandon. Where as vampires as old as Rebekah Kennedy would die a day later.

Cures
There is only one cure for a lunar vampire bite. That's Brandon Smith's blood, a regular lunar vampires blood will only slow down the toxin, and release some of the effects.

However, Siphoners could siphon away the magic in the venom, due to the fact that the venom was created by magic, it is possible that the effects might be reversed by siphoning.

During a lunar eclipse, the effects of the toxin's are amplified.
