Darklighter Arrows

Darklighter arrows are arrows dipped in an unknown poison forged by Darklighters in their section of the Underworld. These arrows are the only way to kill Whitelighters. Hybrid Witch-Whitelighters such as Chris, Wyatt, and Skye are affected by the arrows as well. Some Elders, who not only create whitelighters but are also former whitelighters are also susceptible to this attack; Elders remain in the Heavens to protect themselves from death caused by darklighter arrows.

If a demon, witch (without whitelighter blood) or other being is attacked by an arrow the poison will not effect them, but the the physical impact of the arrow still carries full effect. Even Darklighters themselves can be vanquished by their own arrows, though some particular strong darklighters can withstand such an attack.

When a whitelighter is attacked by such an arrow the poison does not kill him immediately. The affected whitelighter dies slowly and painfully, and any magic that the whitelighter has done, for example, cloaking a charge from a darklighter's senses, will slowly be reversed. The only way to reverse the effects of the poison is for another whitelighter to heal the wounded whitelighter.
