Post-Modern Magik	comment	Most fantasy is based on ancient folklore, but why not set your fantasy in the industrial age or further? When you do this, you are forced to update some of the trappings of your fantasy. If vampires can't safely go out in daylight, does sunscreen help them? What about just shining a flashlight at them with a UV bulb? What about the UV ray from moonlight? Given that Christianity was regarded as the one true faith in medieval Europe, it made sense that only crosses would affect them, but in a different region and time, how well would that weakness carry over? Would a cross work on a Taoist vampire? What could you use on a Muslim vampire when Islam is against the use of symbols for its faith? Would there even be any Muslim Vampires, considering that Islam forbids the drinking of blood? Is it the faith of the wielder that matters? Can a Jew fend off vampires with a Star of David? What about the fact that in addition to being haram, blood is also not kosher (i.e. treife)? Can Gordon Gekko fend them off with his wallet?note Funnily enough, a similar event happened with a banker and a vampire in Vampire: The Masquerade This is Post Modern Magik. It's what you get when you decide that magic shotguns make as much sense as magic swords, and vampires that don't show up in mirrors also don't show up on camera. Even if a series tries to avoid modern day entirely, the tendency for magic to act like computer programs has bled into the "pure" magical genre. Can be common in Fantasy Kitchen Sink, where you have robots and fairies both running around. However, many of those authors try to separate the sci-fi and fantasy elements; the most common way around this is to make a rule that magic gives off an anti-technology field (or vice-versa) so that at any one place only magic or technology works. Note that this is not Magitek. Magitek is technology created with magic, like a camera which is really just a box with an Imp inside drawing really fast, or an "Internet" made from magic mirrors and living books. Post Modern Magik concerns itself with how non-magical technology interacts with magic, like when regular cameras aren't able to take pictures of vampires due to the use of silver halide photo-chemicals and mirrorsnote If the writer knows a bit more about camera technology, vampires might show up on digital cameras, but not the viewfinder of a high end camera, which uses a periscope arrangement of mirrors to show the image the actual lens sees, or the vampires may even show up in modern mirrors and/or photos since modern mirrors are commonly made with or from aluminum rather than silver, and demons are real, but can be beaten up by mutants or be fooled by realistic androids. Common in Urban Fantasy settings, and often seen where Our Monsters Are Different (especially vampires). Now to figure out where this fits in Harmony Versus Discipline. Compare Magic from Technology, Muggles Do It Better (when today's technology trumps magic), Modernized God and Sufficiently Analyzed Magic. See also Magick for post modern spellings of magick.

Post-Modern Magik / int_1331990c	comment	Puella Magi Madoka Magica is this in atmosphere, if not a full example. The setting of Mitakihara City has an extremely gritty industrial or sterile digital feel that feels out of place compared to other Magical Girl settings, which tend to be set in more green suburban regions. As a result, the juxtaposition of frilly, pastel colored magical girls amid factories and skyscrapers creates a disconnect that assists in the Post Modern Deconstruction of the genre. Within the setting, there are straight examples, with Homura fighting with completely normal firearms to make up for her weak magic powers, and in one of the manga Spin Offs, a smartphone application is used to trace magic.

Post-Modern Magik / int_133e5ceb	comment	Ultraviolet (1998): Vampiric weaknesses are scienced up, such as ultraviolet susceptibility (thus the title), carbon-based bullets (instead of stakes), and videoscreen-based vampire detectors. On the other side of the war, the "leeches" are quite willing to use things like genetic engineering, dodgy legal matters, and psychological warfare. As we find out in the series finale, their big plan is to use synthetic blood as a substitute for humanity. Because humanity will be extinct. Because they plan to kill them all after causing a nuclear winter to block out the sun. To expand on the videoscreen bit: The traditional vampire trait of not casting a reflection on mirrors is expanded to that they are not picked up on any recording devices. In the modern world this is also a hindrance, as it means vampires cannot use telephones directly, and unless a picture was taken before one is turned into a vampire, you can forget about getting a new photo ID.

Post-Modern Magik / int_13646ab7	comment	In Pale, technomancy is a specific magical discipline, though one that ironically has become less popular over the years as what qualifies as "cutting edge" has accelerated. Technomancers tend to pick an era and stick to it rather than chase the change, as the pattern-based nature of magic in this setting makes it hard to constantly pick up new things, so older generations of technomancers have largely become their own branches of mystical practice. Zed, a young technomancer, packs mostly older tricks like casette tapes which summon dancing, fighting spirits, a radio built-in to his car that lets him detect magical signals, and a card that can be inserted into a disk drive to generate literal bugs inside a computer, while his mentor Rad Ray Sunshine works through a flip phone and can turn passing birds into aerial drones.

This trope is used against him in the same book, when a baddie recognizes a flaw in his shield, and brings mooks with flamethrowers to ambush him. The shield stops the actual fire, but not the heat, and Harry's left hand is seriously injured for the next few books.

Cute Witch Gwynn creates a magical golem out of the various pieces of clutter around the apartment, named "Clutter Monster."

When he was defeated the first time due to a fire sprinkler washing out the ink, he learned from this, printed the runes on cards, and laminated them. There are a number of magicians who utilise forms of Post Modern Magik in the series, from hiding magic within everyday items, to using industrial lasers to carve runes quickly, to incorporating a Magically-Binding Contract into the terms and conditions of a social networking service. Using magic in this way is limited and often illegal due to the treaty between Magic and Science Sides, though the border isn't clear - when facing Richard Brave, whose use of Vitamin B sprayed runes to support his Flaming Sword was deemed illegal, Stiyl notes that their positions could easily have been the other way around because the people in charge of judging such things are arbitrary hypocrites.

Post-Modern Magik / int_1f86ee96	comment	Christine: The climax: Evil possessed car threatening your day... do you find some magic spell to exorcise it? Bring the ghost closure so he can move on? No, you run over it with an oversized Caterpillar truck, crushing it and re-crushing it over and over until it stops healing itself, then have your local junkyard turn it into a 3-foot-square cube. "Car possessed by ghost" qualifies all on its own. Especially as the novel's protagonist already theorises that it's a result of post-modern blood sacrifice magic ritual. Specifically, the previous car's owner's attitude towards the machine, and its history as well (two of the guy's family members died in it), equaled to having unknowingly performed a kind of enchantment ritual on the car.

Post-Modern Magik / int_226f6b3f	comment	In Haven, several centuries ago, the evil Mara and William gave hundreds of people dangerous powers called Troubles that are passed on through family lines in an effort to create chaos and suffering. These Troubles and the people who have them tend to adjust to modern times. Examples: Dwight Hendrickson attracts bullets toward himself. This was a significant problem for his lineage, who were attractors for musketballs and - at one point - a cannonball. He gets around this by wielding alternate weapons like crossbows and tasers, as well as wearing a bulletproof vest because the bullets tend to curve towards center of mass. He also doesn't attract rubber bullets. In "Countdown", a man causes people to see countdowns on digital screens, which turns them to stone when the timer hits zero. Chris Brody uncontrollably makes people fawn over him through eye contact. It works over Skype. In "Nowhere Man" and "Exposure", a woman inadvertently causes people to become invisible and intangible like ghosts when she takes their picture. According to Mara, the Trouble she gave to the woman's ancestor was to turn the victim into a ghost when she painted their portrait.

The summon Onni sends to the crew long-distance in Chapter 13 is implied to need a source of fire to be able to show up at its destination. The hint towards this is that it shows up via Emil's flamethrower. An early attempt to cure the Rash sickness caused what appeared to complete brain death.

Sunlight is one of the main Achilles' heels for vampires, so the polar regions would be intensely vulnerable in the dead of winter, where there is either very little sunlight or none at all due to the seasons and Earth's axial tilt. This allows the vampires to go on an uninterrupted rampage through Barrow, Alaska, the northernmost town in the US, for thirty straight days.

Post-Modern Magik / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files is almost completely based around this; its working title was Semiautomagik. Some examples: Using $100 bills in a love potion (as a substitute for powdered diamonds). Notably, this works, but makes the love potion "sleazy" (as in, the target acts more like a porn star than a lovestruck damsel). At the end of Dead Beat, the hero needs to fight a necromancer who has summoned an army of centuries-old zombies - and the older they are, the more powerful they get. He could raise zombies of his own, but violating dead sentient beings in such a way is a major crime. So what does he do? Revive a T. rex from a skeleton at a natural history museum. Using a powder made from Cold Iron and depleted uranium to bind ghosts to the earth (depleted uranium standing for weight in the sympathetic magic). Dewdrop fairies can still be bribed with milk and honey — but they'll do anything for pizza. Black Court Vampires Hate Garlic, and garlic powder is just as effective against them as the cloves are. Talismans work against some types of vampires but not others, and depend on the faith of the wielder. Harry, whose faith is in magic itself, uses his pentacle amulet to great effect. In Blood Rites Harry defeats a vampire using holy water balloons. Later, he uses a paintball gun that has ammo loaded with holy water and garlic powder. This trope is used against him in the same book, when a baddie recognizes a flaw in his shield, and brings mooks with flamethrowers to ambush him. The shield stops the actual fire, but not the heat, and Harry's left hand is seriously injured for the next few books. There's a rule that strong magic causes technology to fail. This means that the hero is forced to drive around in a Volkswagen Beetle, because any car made after the Sixties will die on him, and he can cause computers and closed-circuit TV cameras to short just by thinking at them. It's then later explained that this tendency actually has evolved with humanity and technology, and once took the form of the "witches cause milk to curdle" myth. While regular iron can hurt beings from the Land of Faerie, certain bullets can hurt them even more so. Also used as a bluff against The Fair Folk in Grave Peril. While in the faeries' domain, Harry throws down a handful of nails. Outraged that he would bring iron into Faerie (the equivalent of walking into a neighborhood and dumping radioactive toxic waste), the faerie in question is distracted long enough for Harry to accomplish what he needs to before informing her that the nails are aluminum. When there's a need to kill a powerful vampire duke in the middle of his well-defended estate in a hostile country while he's calling all of his minions to him with intent to return and kill everyone, said duke's defenses are impressive, but they can't prevent you from using magic indirectly, such as yanking a Soviet communications satellite from orbit and dropping it on his head. If you need a backup if the magic doesn't work, carry a gun. A big one. Harry has a predilection for revolvers (a .38, a .357 and a Dirty Harry a.k.a. M29 .44 Magnum). Thomas and Ramirez go for Deagles, and Murphy prefers a .45 1911 and a Belgian P90 automatic. Less human factions are more than happy to use them as well. Expect everyone from Fae, Vampires, and Fallen Angels to be outfitting their footsoldiers with good old human firepower. In particular Binder is a mercenary who's main magical trick is summoning a bunch of demons he's allied with, arming them with machine guns, and using them as muscle for whoever happens to be paying him. Don't have the magic to face a Naagloshii? Well, there's always the Nuclear Option. This goes the other way too. In Dead Beat, Mab refers to technology as "human ferromancy". There is also the time when Mother Winter (the most ancient of the Faerie Queens) quotes Einstein as proof that the Summer Knight's mantle of power is not destroyed.

Post-Modern Magik / int_43576f5	comment	Dean and Sam of Supernatural frequently encounter and make use of these. For example, one arc had them going after a weapon that was the only means of killing (no, not banishing, really killing) the monster from their tragic childhood. Rather than a mystic sword or something, turned out to be a revolver. In an earlier episode, they face a Wendigo, which can only be killed by melting its heart. They don't have any hot tallow to pour down its throat, so they shoot it in the chest with a flare gun. Death and War have replaced their horses with Mustangs, the kinds with engines, and Pestilence uses a pharmaceutical company to spread his diseases. Also the episode where the Christian apocalypse is happening, and they run into pagan gods who really aren't happy about this. The most prominent in the series is the shotgun shells filled with salt to banish spirits. The producers described it as sort of a "Eureka!" Moment. A Dragon shows up, and can only be killed by a sword forged in dragon-blood. They found one, but it was trapped in a boulder ("it used to be all the rave"). When plan A (that the sword would accept Dean as a "valiant knight willing to step up and kill the beast") failed, out came plan B: Take out the C4 and blow up the boulder. This had the minor side effect of breaking the sword, but it still worked. Faries have hidden their kidnappings, light appearances, and their other effects by forming groups preaching it was done by aliens. At one point Bobby is faced with an Okami who normally can only be killed by a special knife that's been blessed by a Shinto priest. He doesn't have one, so he tosses her in a woodchipper. In general, assorted supernatural nasties tend to be portrayed by ordinary-looking people. Which explains how they manage to stay hidden unless folks like Hunters specifically know what to look for. (And also saves on makeup.)

Post-Modern Magik / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld mainly has Magitek, but Carpe Jugulum had vampires who were able to condition themselves against the traditional weaknesses, like fear of holy symbols or the inability to cross running water. Later books featured the Uberwald Temperance League, a sort of Alcoholics Anonymous for vampires that channels their cravings for blood into cravings for less lethal things, like coffee or photography. Count Magpyr is described as basically having vaccinated his children with holy water, helping them build up an immunity through very small amounts (his daughter remarks this gave them a lot of colds). The 'holy symbols only matter if the wielder has faith' variant also comes up, as doubt-riddled Omnian priest Mightily Oats is unable to ward them off with his turtle amulet. However, these defenses are all heavily dependent on mental focus and force of will - when the vampires find themselves cornered towards the end of the book and begin to panic, they become vulnerable again. It even ends up working against them - because the Count has given his family an encyclopedic knowledge of the MANY religions on the Disc, most of which have very simplistic symbols, they can't stop seeing them just about everywhere. This trope is also applied to the Elves' weakness to iron, in that Elves seem to have some sort of sixth sense based on magnetism and contact with iron (especially magnetic iron) basically amounts to sensory deprivation.

The plot of the movie is kicked off by the world's supply of human blood running low as non-vampire humans are hunted and farmed into extinction (with clear parallels to peak oil), and the people in charge abandoning the hunt for an artificial substitute against the advice of the protagonist. There are lots of nifty details that make the film's world a more plausible place, even though the actual cause of vampirism is left as Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane.

Post-Modern Magik / int_53a0bd32	comment	Numerous examples in The Twilight Zone (1959). In "One For The Angels", Death wears a tailored suit and gathers souls like a businessman gathers clients. He can also be moved by sales pitches, though it's ambiguous if this was a true moment of weakness or just a test for pitchman Lew Bookman. In the satirical episode "The Bard", Julius Moomer inadvertently summons William Shakespeare back from the dead using Ye Book of Ye Black Arte. Shakespeare then proceeds to write a television script. In "Printer's Devil", the wily Mr. Smith causes various disasters with a cursed linotype machine, and attempts to get the protagonist Douglas Winters to sell his soul to him in exchange. He then uses the linotype in an attempt to kill off his assistant Jackie. Douglas' final solution to the problem? Use the linotype machine to write his deal out of existence and save Jackie's life. In "Death Ship", not only is spaceship E-89's fate akin to the fate of the Flying Dutchman, it takes place in the near future rather than the present. It's implied that the TV repairman in "What's in the Box" may have magic powers, or at the very least is not entirely human. Assuming it was intentional, his revenge is to enchant a television set to show future events, somewhat akin to a crystal ball. Invoked in "Mr. Garrity And The Graves". Mr. Garrity claims he can resurrect the dead through the application of various scientific principles that he picked up in the Himalayan Mountains. While this claim is entirely false, he did somehow manage to bring back the dead.

In Dungeons & Dragons, which OotS parodies, the detect spells can be blocked by a thin sheet of lead, 2 inches of wood, or a foot of dirt. Belkar later sues the person who used it on him (Miko Miyazaki) noting that harmful radiation also is blocked by lead, and many of the things she used it on are now dead. She killed them because they registered as evil, but that is simply a technicality. In a later strip, Redcloak summons titanium and chlorine elementals, and later still, a silicon elemental. It should be noted that other wizards are aware of the Periodic Table of the Elementals, but refuse to use them because of tradition.

Post-Modern Magik / int_5dbbf8fb	comment	Night Watch (Series) runs with this partly. The old battle amulets exist alongside things like enchanted SIM-cards to make people calling from a specific seem more persuasive. Final Watch also includes things like submachinegun bullets enchanted to be able to kill an Other up to the second Twilight (a magical dimension existing in parallel with ours) level. There is also a remote-controlled turret with enchanted rounds which will kill most Others because an inanimate object has no thoughts or malice and is very difficult to detect before you're filled with enchanted lead. Modern weapons also mean the Others must be ten times more careful about breaching The Masquerade. A nuke leaves an Other nowhere to hide, as the blast penetrates into every Twilight level, except teleport, which is a difficult and time-consuming process for most. Itâ€™s mentioned several times that Anton must constantly replace his mini-disc players, which get fried every time he uses a moderately-powerful spell. At the same time, prior to the first book, he was an IT guy and is well-versed in computers. The Others, generally, have no problem with modern technology and are seen using computers and cell phones plenty of times. This makes sense, as many of them are not very old. It's mentioned several times that dropping The Masquerade will be disastrous for the Others, as modern technology has pretty much surpassed magic in terms of deadliness. Yes, a tri-blade will kill you with a simple flick of a wrist, but so will that punk kid from down the block with a 9mm. One of the threats in Day Watch is the possible resurrection of a crazy and powerful Dark Other from the days before the Grand Treaty and the Masquerade, who likes to take the form of a dragon. The characters pretty quickly agree that the humans would be able to, if not kill, then at least seriously hurt the dragon, but it would still result in devastation and loss of life. Helicopter gunships vs a mad dragon? Bet on the gunships. Final Watch also describes how the Day Watch keeps track of all Others in their jurisdiction. Each person (especially an Other) has a unique aura visible only to Others. One of the first things that Others are taught is to recognize, remember, and send an aura to a different Other. The Others have an almost photographic memory for auras. However, there's no way for an aura to be inputted into a computer. Thus, the Moscow Day Watch employs a low-level Other who happens to be a talented artist and is their version of a sketch artist, except he paints auras, which are then scanned into a computer and entered into the database. Thus, when the Others' equivalent of an APB is put out, all Watchmen on patrol are given prints of the aura to remember. Certain tags are used to help querying the database for an aura, such as "is there a sharp curve in upper-left quadrant?". In the same novel, Anton is nearly killed when a high-level earthquake spell is used against him. The kicker? He's driving in the middle of nowhere. No one should be able to know here he is. Then he realizes that the bad guys are tracking the GPS chip in his cell phone. Luckily, Geser foresaw this and gave him an enchanted SIM-card that throws off the GPS coordinates enough for any spell to miss by a few miles.

Post-Modern Magik / int_68237790	comment	Pathfinder elaborates on this a bit in two adventure paths: Reign of Winter and Iron Gods. Reign of Winter includes a portion where Baba Yaga is captured by her renegade son Grigori Rasputin and imprisoned in 20th century Russia. The adventurers dispatched to rescue her quickly discover that the Russians, all survivors of the Great War, have seen more than their fair share of the horrors of war, and after that, some flying magician or obsolete medieval swordsman isn't very intimidating. Baba Yaga herself is kept in an arcane prison powered by electricity. Iron Gods brings the traditional gameplay aspects to a world where alien technology mingles with the medieval setting of the world. Treasure troves can be found where swords and javelins are found alongside key cards and power armor. These technological weapons, such as chainsaws and death rays, can be enchanted and imbued with magical power just like any longsword or bow by a craftsman who knows the basics.

Similar weapons were also owned by the Caretaker and Vengeance. This showed up again in The Movie. Honestly, the character's core concept — a blazing demonic motorcycle rider — is a textbook example of this trope. His kindred spirits Daimon Hellstrom and Jaine Cutter have both been in possession of a "breathing gun", an enchanted living gun that makes its own bullets and is especially adept at killing demons.

This causes side effects that put it firmly in this trope. Magical diseases follow the same contagion rules as mundane ones, making it possible for a Zombie Apocalypse to infect your fort even when nobody's been bitten, if somedwarf wears a tainted tunic. Anything that came from an animal can be reanimated by a necromancer, including things like its empty pelt. This is an Ascended Glitch.

Post-Modern Magik / int_705bb59a	comment	Vampire: The Masquerade manages to get in on the game as well. While most vampire Disciplines are ancient arts based in the body, the mind, or the soul, the Blood Magic of the Tremere has allowed for the development of a Path of Technomancy, allowing for the manipulation of electronic devices and data from afar. By the time of the 20th Anniversary Edition, this has developed to the point that some Thaumaturges have created magically-encrypted websites that can only be read by vampires, leading to a Kindred social media site only half-joking called "Fangbook." This tendency towards old vampires using new tricks is especially present in the Nosferatu. Long the major info brokers and spies of Kindred society, they got in on the Internet when it was still ARPANET, creating a vampire-exclusive dark web they dubbed Schreck Net. By the time of 5th edition, however, Technomancy is ratcheted back, if not written out entirely, and this trope has turned on vampires hard. The Camarilla, the traditionalists of vampire society, saw the War on Terror as a great excuse to do what they always did and use mortal authorities as a proxy against the warlike cultists of the Sabbat. Including three-letter agencies. One mini-Masquerade breach later, several world governments now know vampires exist and aren't happy with it. An ancient sanctum of elder vampire sorcerers protected by the most powerful blood magics turned out to be no match for a drone strike, and several airports have cameras set up to detect which passengers aren't showing vital signs. It's gotten to the point that the Camarilla has ordered its members to abandon modern tech entirely, complete with ordering the Nosferatu to dismantle Schreck Net.

Phones have "mana contacts" that connect to the user's magic (that is, soul) in order to project a personal Augmented Reality field, thaumaturgy is treated the same as any other science, and there are farms for raising magical creatures for their parts which can be used in spells—which in turn leads to arguments about "factory farms" and "free-range." The sequel series DFZ takes place twenty years later, after the ancient gods have risen again. Robbing the dead is a terrible idea because there are so many death gods around, and the Spirit of the Forgotten Dead has an office full of priests who look like any other blue-collar worker. The Cleaners have magical keys that will open the door of any apartment that they bought at auction, Artificial Intelligences interface directly with their user's magic in order to anticipate their needs, and the most magical places in the city have supernaturally good wi-fi.

Post-Modern Magik / int_83d41855	comment	Gargoyles breathes this trope. For starters, there's the curse cast on the Clan that keeps them in their stone sleep "until their castle rises above the clouds." Xanatos, to break the spell, simply builds a skyscraper and plunks the castle atop it. Problem solved. And again, when Demona casts a spell to freeze the entire city of Manhattan in stone all night, every night, until the sky burns (using a TV broadcast!). The solution? Disperse a hyper-flammable gas throughout the sky above Manhattan and light it on fire. The system here was basically written so this trope could be had fun with; in the show's setting adding some kind loophole to spells makes them stronger, so wizards from ye olden times dealt with their requirement of a weakness by making their loopholes seemingly impossible... but modern technology can do quite a bit of things that were considered impossible centuries ago. This was even set up with a minor Loophole Abuse earlier in the arc. The spell is stated to affect "All who see this, All who hear this". This allows Hudson's blind friend to be unaffected by the spell, because he couldn't see the broadcast. Hudson is able to recognize that magic is in play, and turns off the TV to stop the spell from affecting the Gargoyles. The Blind Friend, who was previously introduced in the Very Special Episode about reading books, is a bookworm who understands Latin, is able to translate the spell and give the Gargoyles the condition to break the Spell. How to fight against a malevolent fairy? With iron-plated robots! Which also lead to the interesting clarification that energy is energy, whether the source is scientific or magical.

Post-Modern Magik / int_8601c91f	comment	The reboot took this even further: the UAC tapped Hell like an oil field, extracting Argent Energy, filtering out the harmful properties and wirelessly distributing it across the Solar System as an inexhaustible power source. And it worked without problems for nearly a century before Olivia Pierce came along and deliberately made things go wrong. The way Revenants come into existence is quite telling: a human volunteer is surgically mutilated and cybernetically fitted with a jetpack and shoulder-mounted rocket launchers, then pumped full of unfiltered Argent Energy until they die in agony and reanimate as a demon. A demon with a jetpack and rocket launchers, that is. And then there's the Cyberdemon, an ancient Baalgar shadow lord's fossilized corpse reanimated with Argent Energy infusion and fitted with modern armor, a rapid-fire rocket launcher and a particle beam cannon to create the "ultimate battle demon" for UAC. In-game codex entries reveal that not only Samuel Hayden's Wetware CPU Cyborg body is powered by Argent Energy too, the BFG fires Argent Energy as well.

Post-Modern Magik / int_86e4732f	comment	In the Kitty Norville series, police officers end up carrying spray bottles of holy water and pistol crossbows that fire wooden quarrels. Silver paint isn't just a chrome-like color scheme. Faeries wards work just fine if the herbs come in pill form. There's a DNA test for lycanthropy and vampirism. It's a plot point in the fourth book that vampires appear in mirrors and on camera if they want to or appear blurry or not at all if they don't; "it's all tricks of the light". Vampires tend to seem technophobic just because they're old-fashioned, but several have been seen using laptops and other modern technology. One vampire is perfectly willing to feed on someone with her fangs, but also uses a needle and syringe when she wants to be considerate to a wary, reluctant donor. And in the first book, a police detective brings Kitty to a murder scene so she can get the scent of the killer, and tries to treat her as evidence or witness to the crime just based on that scent even though she was nowhere near there when it happened.

The gods of Olympus are the heart of Western civilization, which means that they naturally change and adapt with the times, because they embody aspects of civilization. It blends surprisingly well with their ancient roots. For example: Dionysus loves Pac Man, Atlas hires mercenaries, Hephaestus is more of a mechanic than a smith, Zeus wears tailored suits, Ares drives a motorcycle and has a temple on a BATTLESHIP, Poseidon disguises his trident as a fishing rod, Aphrodite rides around in a limo, King Minos teaches someone how to summon the dead using cheeseburgers and coke, Apollo rides a sun Ferrari instead of a chariot, and don't even get us started on Daedalus...

One he proves is that a vampire who was Jewish will be repelled by a star of David. He even applies modern psychology to the problem by concluding that this, and a couple other weaknesses, are entirely psychosomatic.

Post-Modern Magik / int_974ad78f	comment	This is pretty much the entire concept of GURPS Technomancer, hence the name. Examples include television sets being used as Crystal Balls, plastic golems, magical production lines, spells that do everything from deleting commercials on TV to making someone get a busy signal every time he calls you and even smart bombs driven by the pilot possessing a rat in the bomb with a little joystick! The only reason why magic exists in the setting is due to a scientist working on the Trinity nuclear tests unwittingly closing a necromatic ritual by saying "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds" which then turned the mushroom cloud into the "Hellstorm" - an everlasting tornado that spews mana into the world. Russia also detonates their own bomb over Antarctica, leading to a second, large hellstorm (now blanketing the entire world in mana) which causes the local penguins to become sapient magic users with a hive mind, their own technology and the ability to transform humans into hive-mind penguins. Scientists within the universe theorize that each successive nuclear detonation weakens the fabric of reality further, and a third one would bend the laws of physics worldwide to such an extent that it would make life as we know it impossible. One clever use of magic in the setting is that "seelie" sightings fill the role of UFOs step for step. Strange lights in the night sky? Seelies. Missing time? Kidnapped by seelies. Encounters with odd humanoids? Seelies.

In the first game, some Enemy Files point out that the demons you face (such as the Sin Scythes and Shadows) are used to fighting knights who wield swords, thus Dante's guns give him a massive edge because they have no idea what they're working against, even before taking into account said guns have infinite ammo because of Dante's devil power. The reboot takes it even further. Are the demons trying to take over the world via opening some Sealed Evil in a Can? Nope, they're just corrupting our banking systems, news programs, club scenes, and soft drinks. One of the protagonists is a witch who has her Eye of Newt stored in aerosol spray cans, and her Wiccan magic symbols printed onto stencil sheets, and on a few occasions, powerful magic spells are hooked up to computer servers that are hacked into.

Crowley adapts his methods of temptation to modern times by causing minor-but-widespread inconveniences, such as phone service outages, so that people take out their frustration on each other (described as putting 'a light tarnish' on their souls). He also manipulates the construction of a major highway so that it creates the shape of a demonic sigil, with the thousands of cars that use it each day having a similar effect to that of a prayer wheel. He's a bit of an outlier here, though, because most of his fellow demons still find it more impressive to make individuals wholly succumb to vice one at a time, even if it takes decades (and Crowley himself believes humanity is much better at their job than they are, sending his superiors in Hell contract paperwork as inspiration for Faustian bargains). The Four Horsemen, sans Death, are another example: War is introduced instigating conflicts as an illegal arms dealer, Famine has his hands in both the diet and junk food industries (it doesn't matter if people are eating as long as the food contains no real nutritional value), and Pestilence has been replaced by Pollution, who prefers to cause environmental disasters but can also create computer viruses, which they plan to use to kick off Armageddeon by causing the world's defense systems to go haywire. They've also replaced their horses with motorcycles.

Post-Modern Magik / int_a037ae41	comment	Fate/Zero's Gilgamesh in an ancient Hindu spaceship dogfighting Lancelot in a magically enhanced F-15, and King Arthur riding a motorcycle to battle Alexander the Great in his divine chariot. Yeah, it's that kind of story. The Nasuverse in general tends to avoid this, due to magi actively shunning modern technology. A major part in Kiritsugu's success is his ability to combine his magecraft and modern weaponry in a manner considered heretical but extremely effective. For example, his custom Origin Bullets are filled with his own powdered bones, which contains Kiritsugu's dual Origins (base 'orientations' of an individual) of 'Binding' and 'Severing'. A magus uses magecraft to defend against the bullet? The Origins are forced directly onto his Magic Circuits, overloading them and ripping them apart. Though newer entries to the Nasuverse are starting to incorporate both this and Magitek, with things like hacker magi in Fate/EXTRA, Caster's original Master in the 2014 UBW anime incorporating machinery and tablets into his Workshop, and just about everything regarding the Chaldea Security Organization and newer depictions of the Atlas Institute.

Truth be told, most of the Traditions have groups who integrate their magical practices with technology, but the Adepts and Etherites make it their primary focus. Elsewhere in the Old World of Darkness, the Glass Walkers tribe of werewolves, urban-oriented tribe that they are, deal extensively with technology spirits. Meanwhile, the magical abilities of the Bone Gnawers, who typically live among the urban underclass, generally make use of what the Gnawers have available to them on the streets. Wraith: The Oblivion has the Artificers. Traditionally, their unique Arcanos, Inhabit, was based around possessing and controlling objects; they were able to apply these principles to soulforging, making them serve primarily as blacksmiths for the dead and creators of the great soulsteel Citadels of the Hierarchy. However, younger generations have found the principles of Inhabit apply to telephone lines, and then the Internet, making a younger Artificers more likely to focus on becoming a digital ghost. Vampire: The Masquerade manages to get in on the game as well. While most vampire Disciplines are ancient arts based in the body, the mind, or the soul, the Blood Magic of the Tremere has allowed for the development of a Path of Technomancy, allowing for the manipulation of electronic devices and data from afar. By the time of the 20th Anniversary Edition, this has developed to the point that some Thaumaturges have created magically-encrypted websites that can only be read by vampires, leading to a Kindred social media site only half-joking called "Fangbook." This tendency towards old vampires using new tricks is especially present in the Nosferatu. Long the major info brokers and spies of Kindred society, they got in on the Internet when it was still ARPANET, creating a vampire-exclusive dark web they dubbed Schreck Net. By the time of 5th edition, however, Technomancy is ratcheted back, if not written out entirely, and this trope has turned on vampires hard. The Camarilla, the traditionalists of vampire society, saw the War on Terror as a great excuse to do what they always did and use mortal authorities as a proxy against the warlike cultists of the Sabbat. Including three-letter agencies. One mini-Masquerade breach later, several world governments now know vampires exist and aren't happy with it. An ancient sanctum of elder vampire sorcerers protected by the most powerful blood magics turned out to be no match for a drone strike, and several airports have cameras set up to detect which passengers aren't showing vital signs. It's gotten to the point that the Camarilla has ordered its members to abandon modern tech entirely, complete with ordering the Nosferatu to dismantle Schreck Net.

These weapons are used by player characters, secret military units, and most other factions in the game. Vampires, werewolves, and other creatures are cross-bred with humans by numerous shady organizations and Mad Scientists. The entire Transylvania arc is built partly around the former Soviet Union's experiments with the paranormal, from the creation of vampire Super Soldiers to the training of "phantom cosmonauts" to explore parallel dimensions. The Orochi Group's sins against nature and humanity in this regard could fill a whole page. They have their own version of the Bee-imbued player characters under a paramilitary organization called the Mitsubachi. They kept a Bee-imbued man Strapped to an Operating Table and used him as a source of organ transplants to give their drones access to Agartha, knowing that they would constantly regenerate due to the Bees' magical healing powers. They tried to turn supernatural creatures, many of them sentient, into food products, and added caffeine to their recipe for artificial blood in order to get their vampire customers more easily addicted (which backfired). They tried to turn the Filth into an energy source. Their bank, Faust Capital, is run by the demon Mephistopheles.

Herman also meets Clarissa, a woman who was deaf until she received a similar aural implant, which allows her to hear ghosts.

One of his favorite weapons was the Electric Pentacle, a star formed out of early electric light tubes.

Traditionally, their unique Arcanos, Inhabit, was based around possessing and controlling objects; they were able to apply these principles to soulforging, making them serve primarily as blacksmiths for the dead and creators of the great soulsteel Citadels of the Hierarchy. However, younger generations have found the principles of Inhabit apply to telephone lines, and then the Internet, making a younger Artificers more likely to focus on becoming a digital ghost.

Post-Modern Magik / int_bcb32dc6	comment	Shadowrun combines Cyberpunk and magic, but separates the two to an extent. The concept of essence, sort of a measure of how connected to nature one is, or how much humanity one has left, determines magic power and susceptibility to magic. Thus, a heavily-cyborged person with a low essence has no spell casting ability, but can barely be touched by a fireball... or a healing spell. This is half world building, and half an anti-munchkin game balancer. Technomancy (a new breed of "magic" based around the matrix and technology) tends to work a bit better with the world of cyber; though it still requires essence, so most technomancers are not cybered themselves. Fortunately for them, they don't need it most of the time on account of having what amounts to a biological wireless router in their heads. The setting deals with interaction of magic and technology a fair bit even outside cybertechnology. For instance, if a spell is defined as requiring a line of sight to its target, does a live camera feed suffice? Answer: Any visual which has been converted into electronic data before reaching the spellcaster's eyes does not count. A purely optical system consisting of fiber optic cables and lenses, on the other hand... There is a way to combine magic and cybertech... but it sucks. Some people can be so heavily cybered that their Essence drops below zero. This would normally kill them, but through the arts of cybermancy, they can be made to still live... in a way. And by "in a way," we mean they become a walking black hole for magic, need an implant that keeps their memories grounded to keep from experiencing permanent derealization/depersonalization disorder, and can easily develop cancer at any time. There's a reason they're called "cyberzombies." Shadowrun also explores the idea of marketing technology to magic users to do their occult tricks and the commercialization of magic itself. The megacorporations will exploit anything to make money, including magic and its users. While having technology installed into the body disrupts Essence and digital representation disrupts occult foci there are no such restrictions on mages using modern devices to acquire spell components or to record their spell formula. One of the in-universe ads within the source books focuses on an expensive portable kit that features a water condenser/purifier for collecting morning dew in urban areas, a clean burning heater to brew potions, refrigration for perishable reagents, integrated wireless for referencing an eletronic spellbook or video tutorials, and a host of other convenience features.

In particular, modern technology made it impossible to keep the existence of the supernatural a secret. Eventually, Tedd manages to convince Magic itself that the Information Age means that the very mechanics of how it changes the rules of magic, which includes informing all one thousand or so Seers who weren't previously part of the magic community of how the new rules work, means changing magic with the intention of keeping it a secret will catastrophically backfire, resulting in it deciding to go along with making magic public in a slower and more controlled manner.

Post-Modern Magik / int_bdc49dbe	comment	This is the point of The Laundry Files. All magic is based around very complicated mathematics. This made it very hard to do... until Turing invented the computer. "The Medusa Effect" (also found in basilisks and cockatrices) is caused by a tumor in humans, and "makes about 1 percent of the carbon nuclei in the target body automagically turn into silicon with no apparent net energy input", and is both a particle and a wave. It can be deployed from any Internet-connected CCTV camera in Great Britain, and a good deal of modern cell phone cameras and video cameras, since any DRM chip can emulate the neural net caused by the tumor. One simple firmware update, and you're good to go. Theoretical computational demonologists can develop a disease of the brain known as Krantzberg Syndrome, which some believe is caused by their own mathematical thoughts causing minor summonings in their own head. The tie-in RPG mentions that even traditionalist thaumaturges rarely work magic without computers these days. Who wants to spend 48 hours chanting and start over every time your tongue slips, when you can get a speech synthesizer to do it for you? In The Fuller Memorandum, Bob exorcises a haunted plane with a thaumic "degaussing resonator" that chimes periodically (pulled from a military-issue field exorcism kit), while reading the necessary script from an ebook reader with a backlit screen: bell, book, and candle for the modern age. This is noted to be the cheapest and most efficient, yet riskiest, options for exorcism, compared to dropping it into the ocean (where the electrolytes in salt water will degauss it eventually) or hauling it out to Wales to shoot it with a gigantic degaussing gun made for explicitly this purpose. If that weren't enough, said haunted plane is a Concorde specifically enchanted to fly missions through a dimensional portal so that the Eldritch Abomination bound on another planet is kept imprisoned via observer effect. In one of the books, a cosmetics company has taken Erzebet Bathory's Blood Bath ritual and used it to create a line of anti-aging creams. The company's CEO mentions that thanks to modern computational demonology, the creams don't need more than 14 parts per million virgin blood... but sadly they still need to use the real stuff, since it's impossible to reliably synthezise the stress hormones generated by being kidnapped and ritually sacrificed in a profitable way.

It is also fairly common in multiplayer worlds to decrease the travel time of minecart public transit lines by using mystic portals to relocate them to the nether. An enterprising user has created a machine that uses enchanted armour to automatically create pathways above an endless Void in the End, an Eldritch Location. With the addition of the Hopper to the game, players are now able to create automated potion brewing factories, although this isn't particularly widespread quite yet. The Hopper and the Dropper can be combined to create conveyor belts of indeterminate length (as opposed to previous attempts which were hampered by the 5 minute time limit imposed on item entities), which aid immensely in inventions like the automated potion factory Exaggerated with player-made mods that add more extensive technology and magic systems, and mod packs that incorporate both.

Indeed, this is a large part of what makes HYDRA so incredibly dangerous in the first book - they have an Evil Genius who's essentially a living AI and a lethal (but imperfect) copy of Asgard's Destroyer, but they also have a vastly powerful necromancer who animates undead dragons. On the heroic side, there's Wakanda and MI13, the former of which runs on vibranium powered technology (and magic) and is ruled by a King empowered by an ancient Goddess, while the latter employs wizards and muggles (and mutants, come to that), combining magic and technology to better handle menaces from both sides.

Post-Modern Magik / int_cfd860dd	comment	The Nasuverse in general tends to avoid this, due to magi actively shunning modern technology. A major part in Kiritsugu's success is his ability to combine his magecraft and modern weaponry in a manner considered heretical but extremely effective. For example, his custom Origin Bullets are filled with his own powdered bones, which contains Kiritsugu's dual Origins (base 'orientations' of an individual) of 'Binding' and 'Severing'. A magus uses magecraft to defend against the bullet? The Origins are forced directly onto his Magic Circuits, overloading them and ripping them apart. Though newer entries to the Nasuverse are starting to incorporate both this and Magitek, with things like hacker magi in Fate/EXTRA, Caster's original Master in the 2014 UBW anime incorporating machinery and tablets into his Workshop, and just about everything regarding the Chaldea Security Organization and newer depictions of the Atlas Institute.

There are also a number of Advanced Classes devoted entirely to it, the most noticeable being Techno-Mage. It's even taken to its logical conclusion by Shadow-based fast-food restaurant The Prancing Pony. Their kid's meal comes with a choice of magical toy: A temporary tattoo (which gives the wearer a boost in a skill... but just a little one) or a wind-up familiar. The wind-up familiars are basically miniature clockwork golems, mass-produced for the franchise. Completely harmless, but darned useful... The Analects Arcane column in Steve Jackson Games' online d20 Magazine, which usually showcased spellbooks from a vague Medieval European Fantasy setting, had three very different Post-Modern Magik spellbooks: The Arcane-ist's Cookbook (a wodge of computer printout using magic to "hack" technology, which has the same questionable accuracy as its inspiration); The Technonomicon (laid out like an engineering textbook, describes techno-magic in matter-of-fact terms); and The Tooninomicon (based on a young mage's theory that Clap Your Hands If You Believe applies to pop culture, contains spells that duplicate the abilities of Looney Tunes characters).

There's a dragon who uses the internet to trade on the stock market, the yeti who's depressed because he's being cyber-bullied, Constanze's constant construction of magitek, Lotte's crystal ball that can connect to the internet, and of course Professor Croix's own heavy usage of sleek-looking magitek that wouldn't be out of place in an Apple store. All this in contrast with the otherwise extremely Hogwarts-like setting.

First is with Mordecai Chalk, a cyborg monster-hunter with iron- and silver-enhancements, assorted mystical runes, weapons that fire anti-monster ammunition, and an onboard database that references thousands of occult tomes. He tries to fight an occult serial killer and barely manages to survive. Second is an alien squad fighting a vampire with holographic crosses, holy water-soaked cables, and a two-handed stake-launching cannon. Steeljack's steel skin proves useful when he fights a group of demons vulnerable to being attacked with iron. The Silver Adept, the sorceress supreme of the series, uses the Aethernet — a magic-powered internet — to respond to emails, track appointments, and get navigational updates across the myriad dimensions. American Chibi owes her origin to an Eldritch Abomination trying to get into the world via video games. Hummingbird II is dubious. When Hummingbird II needs to open a portal to the mystic realm of Khapak Iqun, it required a magic spell augmented with a technological gateway.

Post-Modern Magik / int_dfa878ba	comment	Kate Griffin's Matthew Swift series heavily features this trope, as sorcerers in this series draw power from the environment around them and are strongest in urban settings. Sorcerers can do things such as cast protection spells by using subway passes as tokens of power (because the writing on the back states that only customers who have paid for tickets can enter certain areas) and throw lightning bolts by siphoning off power from nearby electric lights. Golems are made from urban garbage, wizards can animate graffiti as attack animals, and gorgons have hair made of animated cables and cameras. London itself is full of guardian spirits such as the Beggar King, the Neon Court, and the legendary Blue Electric Angels- embodying the telephone system and the Internet.

Post-Modern Magik / int_e5d5d23c	comment	The Demonic invasion in Doom was caused by Martians experimenting with teleportation opening a portal to Hell, which was later found by human colonists. Many of the demons themselves are cyborgs, including the final boss of the first game. The reboot took this even further: the UAC tapped Hell like an oil field, extracting Argent Energy, filtering out the harmful properties and wirelessly distributing it across the Solar System as an inexhaustible power source. And it worked without problems for nearly a century before Olivia Pierce came along and deliberately made things go wrong. The way Revenants come into existence is quite telling: a human volunteer is surgically mutilated and cybernetically fitted with a jetpack and shoulder-mounted rocket launchers, then pumped full of unfiltered Argent Energy until they die in agony and reanimate as a demon. A demon with a jetpack and rocket launchers, that is. And then there's the Cyberdemon, an ancient Baalgar shadow lord's fossilized corpse reanimated with Argent Energy infusion and fitted with modern armor, a rapid-fire rocket launcher and a particle beam cannon to create the "ultimate battle demon" for UAC. In-game codex entries reveal that not only Samuel Hayden's Wetware CPU Cyborg body is powered by Argent Energy too, the BFG fires Argent Energy as well.

In fact, the anti-magic empire in the setting has taken to deliberately giving captured mages cybernetic implants specifically to nullify their power. In addition, the human forces in Germany have found that Depleted Uranium hurts monsters pretty bad, and rounds containing still-radioactive Uranium actually keep them from using their supernatural healing abilities. It has also been discovered that the "running water" weakness of Rifts' Vampires is pretty liberal, and that even a Super-Soaker(tm) is a lethal weapon against them. Coming at it from the other end, some mages decided to take the concept of magic as a type of energy literally, and created Techno Wizardry. This allows them to power technological devices with their own Mana reserve, as well as giving modern devices magical powers, such as guns that can shoot fireballs.

The player is expected to craft a legend around his relics. Some of the sample relics include a smartphone that bounces its signal off a tower in Asgard (which lets it get reception anywhere), perpetual motion machines fueled by Legend that can replace gas tanks, and the tommy gun of Eliot Ness. One of the example characters, a son of Thor, has a huge hand gun the hammer of which is made from a piece of MjÃ¶lnir. Also, in his demi-god and god incarnations, this character's muscle car can fly and, if covered with a slip cover, will be completely repaired of all damage the next day in a manner analogous to his father's goats. A number of titanspawn are... updated. The Centaurs are a biker gang surgically attached to their bikes by a demented Scion, while Scylla is an oil rig whose "heads" are its former crew. One adventure hook given involves a Gorgon getting into the cosmetics business and selling makeup containing a small amount of its blood (which turns women into medusae).

Post-Modern Magik / int_ead7c180	comment	The Hollows Played with, depending on the type of magic involved: A spell using the highly ritualistic and symbolic layline magic that calls for blood will require cutting a specific finger with a silver ritual knife in order to work. Very magic classic(TM) rather than Post Modern. However, the more physical branch called earth magic, which revolves around creating potions and activating the magic with a few drops of witch blood, takes a much more modern approach. Need blood to kindle the magic? Disposable finger sticks like a diabetic might use. Measuring liquids into your caldron? Lab style graduated cylinder, much more accurate. Heating your mini caldron? Sure you want to light the flame from your hearth (which may be a gas hob), but you're more likely to actually cook the potion over a can of sterno or a bunsen burner. Several characters use "splat guns", little gas powered guns loaded with paintballs, except they're filled with the potion of your choosing. Way better than trying to throw a bottle of liquid over someone. In order to make a magic circle properly secure against something as powerful as a demon, you need to ensure it's free of conduits between the outside and inside. Wires, plumbing and gas mains are more obvious examples, but several modern items can count too, including receiving a mobile phone call and a radio controlled watch updating. In later books discussed by Trent researching and testing old wild, elven magic spells to figure out things like whether a spell that calls for flour is actually dependent on the flour, or on the tiny fragments of millstone that used to permeate traditional, stoneground flour.

Post-Modern Magik / int_eb4ec2c0	comment	Unknown Armies plays the whole Post Modern Magik thing to the hilt (it even has a source book by that name). In the game, magick doesn't arise out of a certain religion or belief system — rather, it arises out of doing something that shouldn't work and making it work, usually with extremely risky results. Certain magical schools include: Epideromancy, the ability to control flesh by wounding yourself; Videomancy, the ability to rewrite reality by obsessively watching television programs; Entropomancy, the ability to manipulate probability by doing Jackass-level things; Dipsomancy, one of the more versatile schools of magick, powered by alcoholism; and Pornomancy, the ability to control people and their emotions by performing ritual sex acts copied from a magical porno tape. Unknown Armies takes the notion of Post Modern Magik a step further than this — instead of just finding small, modern innovations in archaic magic, the game makes a point of stating that what is considered to be "traditional" magic is obsolete. Magic-users who practice antiquated forms of occultism are shown to have fairly minor abilities when compared to what the postmodern magicians can bring to bear... until they manage to dig up the right ritual.

Hunter: The Vigil has the Cheiron Group, whose MO is to butcher supernatural creatures and stitch the remains to their operatives. Geist has Mementos, supernatural artifacts charged with the power of death, which can be literally anything, from an animal's skull or Vlad Tepes' sword, to a '68 WV Beetle or the jacket Elvis died in. The mystical energy that empowers mummies turns out to have impressive benefits when used in pharmaceuticals. In Mage: The Awakening, the Free Council are the Spiritual Successors to the Etherites. Incidentally, in the fan-made Genius: The Transgression, this means that the Free Council are the few mages that can get along with Geniuses, and perform hasty swaps whenever one is mistaken for the other. In Vampire: The Requiem, vampires show blurred faces in mirrors, as well as on photographs and any kind of camera unless they make an effort of will to be seen clearly. One sourcebook has an in-character essay from a vampire who says that the Masquerade will likely be broken any day now, as camera phones are fucking everywhere. The Prometheans take it to another level, with a whole new Promethean type spawned by nuclear energy. Then there are the Unfleshed, a Lineage of Prometheans borne out of automatons and machinery programmed with basic drives, from Mechanical Turk-style metal men to drones to probative attempts at AI. Deviant: The Renegades is designed explicitly as a game of mad science and people made different by cruel experimentation; however, the game makes it clear that Deviants are not a new phenomenon, and where now they may be created through genetic engineering, nanotech, and cybernetics, they were once (and heck, still are) created through occult rites and bizarre alchemy.

Post-Modern Magik / int_f766171c	comment	To the Stars combines Magical Girls with space-age technology. Their soul gems, normally a serious weak point, get high-tech armor and decoys. A complicated system of robots and auto-dispensers distributes the "grief cubes" magical characters use to replenish their mana/life-force, making the once-common death by running out of magic almost unheard of. If their body gets destroyed or severely damaged, they can simply transfer to their clone body. Even so, no real scientific understanding of magic has been achieved—after all, even the incubators don't get it—but it gets all that fancy augmentation because magic is humanity's only real edge against the alien invaders.

Post-Modern Magik / int_f8705c18	comment	Hellsing is an exercise in pushing traditional vampire rules as far into the modern era as possible. It starts with holy crosses melted into firearms and bullets, blessed bayonets being held up to form crosses, and Claymore mines being used to fight zombies suited in military equipment and weapons, used by Nazi vampires created by modern surgery by grafting bits of Mina Harker's exhumed remains, and eventually culminating in the 9th Crusade being waged against Britain with the crusaders in plate armor and rifles being flown in with helicopters.

Post-Modern Magik / int_fd4c848a	comment	Turned out to be quite a hassle for Jeannie and Tony in I Dream of Jeannie. It is stated that one of the rules of magic is that genies cannot be filmed or photographed. Any photos will come out with nothing but empty clothes, Invisible Man-style. This particular quirk was eventually forgotten during the show's run... and then re-remembered during their wedding episode.

Post-Modern Magik / int_fdf7a632	comment	In Vampire: The Requiem, vampires show blurred faces in mirrors, as well as on photographs and any kind of camera unless they make an effort of will to be seen clearly. One sourcebook has an in-character essay from a vampire who says that the Masquerade will likely be broken any day now, as camera phones are fucking everywhere.
