- As fa as I know: "Driving a wooden stake through a vampire’s heart instantly slays the monster. However, it returns to life if the stake is removed, unless the body is destroyed. A popular tactic is to cut off the creature’s head and fill its mouth with holy wafers (or their equivalent)."
So, our vamp is just an old rusty body while the stake is in his heart and the negative energy - which is the same that a cause wounds spell creates - wouldn't be heal him.
