Only at the *end* of your influence phase. [7]

No.

Torpor.

When a vampire cannot heal damage, he goes to torpor.

The aggravated damage won't burn him, since he is basically
heathly (i.e., Ready and has not previously taken damage that
he has not healed).

Having no blood doesn't alter the fact that aggravated damage
won't burn a healthy vampire.

The plan to make more cards isn't a myth.

i was sure that any aggravated damage caused to a vamp which couldn't be healed by
burning blood burns the vampire. that's a major factor of aggravated damage.

You may not be aware of the change to aggravated damage which was made
in the 7/7 rulings. This was made to compensate for the fact that when
aggravated damage was first implemented, it was physically *impossible*
for an Ivory Bow or a single point of hand damage with a claw to burn a
vampire under any circumstances (due to the packetting rules in Jyhad).
