How does the soul interact with genetics and reincarnation? I believe the answer was 'oddly' There is magical influence of the house on genes, and the genes influence personality. Dolivar shared kieron's genetics. In fact, it could be argued that since Vlad is dolivar reincarnate, his soul 'genetics' is purer than anyone alive in regard to amorphia manipulation/creation (with the obvious exception of aliera and Sethra) Andy I'm tired. If this makes no sense, MEH! To you.
