Day Walking

Day Walking is an ability of hybrids and immortals to walk in sunlight and function in the day without the need for protection or fear burning from UV rays. This only applies to vampiric beings who are traditionally adverse to the Sun as a consequence of their immortality.

Other beings such as witches, werewolves, humans and supernatural hunters naturally possess this ability, as they are mortal and therefore are not adverse to sunlight.

Original Vampires and non-Original vampires cannot walk in daylight without being burned by the Sun as a consequence of their vampirism. However, they can gain protection from the Sun with lapis lazuli stones enchanted by a witch, thus being able to walk in the sunlight without adverse effects.

These stones are usually affixed to jewelry such as rings, necklaces, pendants, or bracelets to allow them to wear it at all times; as long as they have it on their body or in their hands, they will not be burned by the daylight. Vampires who possess daylight amulets are generally referred to as "Day-Walkers." The amulets are specific and cannot be transferred between vampires.

Tempered Glass
Vampires are able to withstand sunlight if they are safely inside a building with windows and doors outfitted with double-paned and tempered glass that prevents UV rays from penetrating.

Werewolf-Vampire
As hybrids retain the powers of their former werewolf selves upon gaining their vampire powers, they retain the ability to walk in the sunlight without the need of a daylight amulet, unlike their vampire peers.

Witch-Vampire
As hybrids, they retain properties of their former Siphoner selves upon gaining their vampire powers, they retain the ability to walk in the sunlight without the need of a daylight amulet, unlike their vampire peers as witches are by default able to walk in sunlight.

Immortals
Despite having vampiric tendencies (i.e.: immortal beings who feed on human blood to survive), Immortals are able to walk in sunlight by default without any daylight amulet. There are several reasons why this may be the case, both of which go back to the spell that created them.
