when i was reading Rosario+vampire s2 manga i read this sentence
''血液を媒介にしてのみ真祖は継承されるの”

血液＝blood

媒介＝Intermediary

のみ＝Only

真祖＝term in the manga indicates vampires ancestors

継承＝Inheritance

then what does ''媒介にして" mean ? its not ''媒介する” right ? and is "継承される" the
passive form of "継承する” ?

question
translation meaning
what does "媒介にして" mean ?
`媒介にして` means `as the medium`

```

    血液を媒介にしてのみ真祖は継承されるの
    
```

means

```

    use the blood as the medium to become the 真祖
    
```

it think the sentence means if a `真祖` bites another person or vampire, then
the blood of the `真祖` will flow into the person, then he will also become the
`真祖`

PS: this is a pretty common setting appears in many ACGs, like
[Tsukihime](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsukihime),
[Tsukuyomi](http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=2478)
