I will admit to misremembering about the blood. But really, please tell us of any other time in Teen Wolf when someone was healed by grabbing someone? Derek put his hands on Cora, not the other way around, and doing so cost him his Alpha spark. How did Peter bring himself back to life without extinguishing that spark?

And, yes, Peter said it had to happen by the next full moon. Can you say for certain that's because it always needed to be by the next full moon, or because of which full moon was the next one? I would assume it just needs to be the next full moon (I think you're assuming that too) but an assumption isn't necessarily true and I find it dubious to call an assumption canon.

And, Paul? You're right that what I was saying about the genre means "something other than what has been presented on the show". Had you correctly comprehended what I wrote, you would understand that what I was saying is that the show hasn't given us any information on this topic at all. Ergo, anyone claiming any knowledge whatsoever of how the werewolf transformation works -- be it magical, biological or something else -- is wrong. That was absolutely my point. We have not been presented with any information on Teen Wolf. For all we know, it's ancient nanotechnology given to them by aliens that transforms them and gives them superpowers. We don't know. (I'm not suggesting it's actually ancient nanotechnology, btw, even though that would be a really original direction for them to go. :P)

And you are just saying you know. I know what defines canon, I know what we've seen of magic so far and it has no real definition thus far. I know what's been laid out about werewolves, and all we have so far is a myth and Derek saying "the Bite is a gift." It's not definitive in any sense. You are basically writing fan fiction, which is against your own strictly enforced policy. And, yes, I'm going to call you out on it. Could you be right? Sure, you could be. But we don't know that. It isn't canon because we haven't seen it. We don't have any information.
