In Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 10 magic has returned, the Scoobies are back together, and vampires are more dangerous than ever before. With the reintroduction of magic, vampires have gained the ability to transform into animals and walk around in daylight. Curiously, this power does not extend to all vampires as Spike is still bound to the night.
