Excellent. Semi-related follow up: if Erik were to rip the metal out of somebody's body, let's say Alucard. Would it kill him? Alba says that as long as his heart is whole he should be able to survive it. If I'm understanding the information correctly, that would largely depend on what point of the transformation process they try this. Is that accurate?

Also would he revive normal or just the same as he was wrt the coppering?
