Psychic Link
Sires possessed a psychic connection with the vampires they made, allowing them to sense their presence if they're at a reasonable distance. Angel, for example, received dreams of past events with Penn, just as Penn started committing murders in the same style as he did 200 years ago, letting Angel know that he was close but not revealing his location. Additionally, Darla formed a connection with Angel, even as a human, and started appearing in his dreams which she manipulated using Calynthia powder.

Behind the scenes
- There's no official term to refer to the vampire who has been sired. Fans sometimes employ the term Childe, which is used in the RPG Vampire: The Masquerade. Another popular term is Fledgling.
- In "School Hard," Spike refers to Angel as his sire. While Spike was sired by Drusilla, Joss Whedon has commented that the term "sire" can refer to any vampire in a lineage: thus, since Angel sired Drusilla, he can also be considered Spike's sire. By contrast, Spike refers to Angel somewhat more accurately as his grandsire in "Just Rewards."
