Ichor

**Ichor** is the blood of angels and demons. Ichor is gold for angels and black, viscous, thinner than blood, and totally opaque for demons. Demon ichor is infused with demon energies, acidic, can burn the skin, and is somewhat toxic to humans if it gets into their blood through wounds or other means, though it can have varied effects when given in careful concentration.

## Ichor in Other Beings

The presence of a particular kind of ichor in a Shadowhunters' and Downworlders' blood may provide them with additional gifts and abilities. Its effects are greater in children than in adults.

* **Clary Fairchild:** was unwittingly given angel blood, particularly Ithuriel's, while in her mother's womb by Valentine, seemingly making her more special and giving her the ability to see and draw Marks not found in the Gray Book.
* **Jace Herondale:** was also given Ithuriel's blood, also while in his mother's womb, as part of Valentine's experiments. It gave him innate strength and skill far superior than ordinary Nephilim. This excess angel blood also turned the vampire Simon Lewis into a Daylighter.
* **Sebastian Morgenstern:** was also given doses of demon blood, particularly Lilith's, while in Jocelyn's womb. It gave him superior strength and agility compared to most Nephilim. It also gave him the cruelty that comes with the demonic nature he was born with. The demon blood was burned out of him by heavenly fire; before he died, the persona that his blood made him take on was destroyed first, revealing the person he could have been without the blood.
* **Valentine Morgenstern:** also injected himself with both Ithuriel and Lilith's blood. The ichor enabled Valentine the ability to perform magic, with Jocelyn even going as far as saying that Valentine was as close as any human being could get to being a warlock. While it also provided him with some strength and agility, its effects on him were less in comparison to the effect it had on Jace and his children, all of whom received the blood before birth. The angel blood also gave him a sudden feeling and sense of euphoria.
* **Jocelyn Fairchild:** was also given doses of demon and angel blood by Valentine. The angel blood gave Jocelyn the determination and focus to keep going and not commit suicide, like she had wanted to. She, like Clary, also received some ability to use runes unconventionally, though in a significantly lesser degree compared to Clary's; for example, she and Clary were both able to place - and later withdraw - three-dimensional objects within an otherwise flat surface or material, such as on drawings or paintings, but she does not have access to other runes that Clary has.
* **The Endarkened:** were Shadowhunters infused with Lilith's blood by drinking it from the Infernal Cup. The demon blood twisted their allegiance from angelic to demonic and affected their general psyche.
* **Emmy Herondale:** also inherited a greater concentration of angel blood from her parents, Clary and Jace (a greater concentration than them). This gives her the ability to manipulate memories and pyromancy (manipulate fire). Emmy also has regenerative healing properties superior to the average Shadowhunter. Because of this, she is able to survive feats that are usually not survivable.
* **Stevie Herondale:** also inherited a greater concentration of angel blood from his parents. This gives him the ability to manipulate memories and pyromancy (manipulate fire) like his twin sister. Stevie also has regenerative healing properties superior to the average Shadowhunter. Because of this, he is able to survive feats that are usually not survivable.
* **Ella Herondale:** also inherited a greater concentration of angel blood from her parents. This gives her the power of necromancy, life-force manipulation, and the ability to manipulate and sense people's emotions. She also has regenerative healing properties that are superior to her siblings. Because of this, she is nearly impossible to kill / injure.
* **Toby Herondale:** also inherited a greater concentration of angel blood from his parents. This gives him the ability of hydrokinesis and oneiromancy. He also has regenerative healing properties that are superior to the average Shadowhunter. Because of this, he is able to survive feats that are usually not survivable.
* **Liam Herondale:** also inherited a greater concentration of angel blood from his parents. Like his twin brother, he has the abilities of hydrokinesis and oneiromancy. He also has regenerative healing properties that are superior to the average Shadowhunter. Because of this, he is able to survive feats that are usually not survivable.
* **Ava Herondale:** also inherited a greater concentration of angel blood from her parents. She has the abilities of teleportation and aerokinesis. She also has regenerative healing properties that are superior to the average Shadowhunter. Because of this, she is able to survive feats that are usually not survivable.
* **Celina Herondale:** also inherited a greater concentration of angel blood from her parents. She has the abilities of healing and geokinesis/terrakinesis. She also has regenerative healing properties that are superior to the average Shadowhunter. Because of this, she is able to survive feats that are usually not survivable.
* **Adele Herondale:** also inherited a greater concentration of angel blood from her parents. She has the abilities of telekinesis and ergokinesis. She also has regenerative healing properties that are superior to the average Shadowhunter. Because of this, she is able to survive feats that are usually not survivable.
