You know, that's a good question... Vyres, I imagine, would cancel each others' mind-reading out, so you wouldn't need a flail or blisterwood. I imagine, though, that a vyre is capable of harming itself with its own claws/etc, so they could probably hurt the same level and below. That is, a juvinate could hurt a juvinate and a juvenile, but not a vyre. I'm just speculating, though.

Actually, come to think of it, I'm inclined to say that yes, they can. In Branches of Darkmeyer, Vanescula kills Ranis. It would be weird if she were carrying something silver around, since it's just about the only thing that can hurt her, and at the time the blisterwood tree wasn't healthy enough to carve weapons from.
