if he was "reborn" he'd die and then rise the following night.. as a Shade you get a wound and it burns for a few days, during which the transformation occurs - think of it as getting an infection: the effects vary from individuals but as a Shade one never truly "dies" so is not a true vampire, they have a condition ("half-vampire")
