- “Sun beaming down in a nice, non-fatal way. It's very exciting, I can't wait to find out if I freckle.”

Daywalking was the ability to be immune to sunlight, notable to certain vampires, who usually burned and dusted under prolonged exposure.
Examples[]
The Gem of Amara granted any vampire who wore it immunity to sunlight. It was worn by Harmony Kendall, Spike,[1] Marcus, and Angel, before Angel ultimately decided to destroy it.[2]
James underwent a surgical procedure at the hands of Dr. Gregson that removed his heart, allowing him to withstand sunlight for six hours before automatically dusting.[3]
Due to the different suns in dimensions other than Earth, vampires were able to withstand exposure to the sunlight of Pylea[4] and Wolfram & Hart's Holding Dimension.[5]
Necrotempered glass was a special form of glass that filtered out the components of sunlight deadly to vampires while leaving brightness intact.[6]
All new vampires, sired after the creation of a new Seed of Wonder, were able to be active during the day. Because most humans viewed Dracula as the standard model for vampires, those created following the restoration of magic possessed many of his abilities.[7] Although, a new rule of magic was written restricting the new vampire's shapeshifting abilities to happen outside the sunlight.[8]
