> No, I guess *you* yourself wouldn't have a reflection when you're looking at the mirror behind and past the vampire. My reasoning is that if the vampire is physical -- he's not a hallucination, and you can see him -- and flesh himself (which stands to reason if he needs physical BLOOD to survive), then he must be doing something to the laws of optics to prevent incident light from forming his image in the mirror. Thus if he's hindering incident light from reaching the mirror target, he'd be intercepting any incident rays bouncing off of *you*, too. Technically you'd be invisible to the mirror when the vampire's around.

Except for all the movies were a person looks over the shoulder of the person they are talking to at a mirror and only see themselves. I've never seen the lack of reflection leaving *ANY* trace of the vampire on the mirror, no fuzzy image, no black hole, no nothing. We arn't talking science here, we are talking myth and legend.


> > How interesting! Hmm. I guess that the vampire not having a reflection would stem from light passing through the vampire-- but if that were true, you couldn't see the vampire. Hmm. I suppose it's just magic.

See above, it isn't that he has warped light rays or anything, the laws of physics just don't applie to vampire reflections. Makes you wonder how Dracula's hair always looks so good.

Speed'more interested in what happens if a Vampire and Werewolf bite each other'ball
