Siphoning

(This page comes from here: https://vampirediaries.fandom.com/wiki/Siphoning)
Siphoning is the distinct ability of siphoners and witch-vampire hybrids to absorb or consume magic from magical objects and other supernatural beings albeit temporarily. As hybrids, they keep their ability to siphon magic after being turned into vampires which allows them to cast magic as vampires. They can also siphon from their vampirism as a limited source of power. This ability typically requires physical contact and when it is performed, it gives off a faint, red glow. While in some instances the process of siphoning has been known to cause intense pain, others have been otherwise painless. It remains unknown why this ability can cause harm.
