This theory assumes that he did not, in fact, draw Lady Teldra and
that the rapier which Sara recovered was merely his rapier. But we
know that Lady Teldra can heal wounds, and that Vlad did not make his
rapid physical recovery until after Sara returned his rapier to him.
(Well, for certain values of "know.") Whether it was just a rapier or
Lady Teldra, either way seems problematic for different reasons.
