Vampire Academy/Headscratchers

• In Frostbite, the fact that Christian, one of the few Moroi who actually practices using offensive magic on a regular basis, doesn't even think to use it against the guys who are kidnapping them.
  • Rose explains. It was drilled into them so much not to use magic that they didn't think to. Not to mention, they'd been captured by Strigoi, one of which terrified Rose.
• Okay, so dhampires are basically just like very fast, strong, attractive humans. They don't have any of the moroi weaknesses like dependence on blood or aversion to sunlight, and they don't have anything that would make them stick out, like superpowers or fangs. It seems to be that their only two options are being bodyguards or prostitutes for the moroi. Really? Has it never occured to any of them to Take a Third Option and try to live among humans? It might not be the easiest thing to just walk away from the vampires' world, and they're supposedly dependent on the moroi for reproduction, but it's hard to believe that nobody has tried it.
  • During the first book, two guardians did ditch the people they were guarding, and there have probably been others that just weren't mentioned during the books. Also, they just see staying to guard the Moroi as the right thing to do, as Rose says multiple times during Shadow Kiss.
• OK, Spirit is starting to get out of hand. In the first book, it was limited to healing and mind control. In the second book, they introduced auras and Adrian's dream walking. But by the last book, spirit can apparently read minds, be used for telekinesis, as well as random other things which are never explained. Really, it's almost like it's getting to A Wizard Did It
