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. > > Worm"wonders if the vampire stood between two mirrors, could he see forever?"wood
I always kinda thought vampires were just so dark they absorbed all the light which hit them so that none could be reflected back, but you could see them because they contained all that light. But I guess that doesn't make sense because then it would be a black hole looking thing instead of nothing... Also light kills vampires. But really that was the only logic I could come up with for why vampires were invisible. I suppose(knowing little to nothing of vampire lore) that maybe people thought they had no reflection because they had no soul, but reflection really doesn't have anything to do with that, so I don't know. Maybe they suck up all the light and then reflect it as something else, but only in mirrors... Hehe. That's fun. Philosophy rules.
