The light pattern of a diarmadhi consists of three or four colors described as gemstones; each diarmadhi has a unique color pattern, and these colors represent facets of the diarmadhi 's character. A full blooded diarmadhi is also vulnerable to mirror spells. Water crossing has no effect on a sorcerer, and they are less susceptible to death by iron while casting. Those of the Old Blood can be trained as at Goddess Keep as Sunrunners. The only way to tell if a Sunrunner is a diarmadhi is if sorcery is being performed. In the presence of sorcery, a dairmadhi wearing the faradhi rings will be burned by the special metal used to craft the rings. If the diarmadhi wearing the faradhi rings casts a sorcerous spell, then the rings tremble "as if in protest."
