[quote=@LordOfTheNight] 2) Magic and science are two separate entities that do not connect (or at least shouldn't). They can imitate one another but in the end they are completely different. As to crosses and faith it all comes down to the monster, the item you use, and your own faith. If you were to brandish a Christian cross to a vampire from a strictly Buddhist province it would do nothing. Brandish a cross made from the silver given to Judas to the same vampire and it will be a different story [/quote] Oh, so that's the premise? But isn't Science just a concept how the universe works? Then, in that case, what is alchemy? You mentioned alchemists in your introductions. My character makes use of an alchemical invention, isn't that Science or is that Magic? This concerns me. I'm slightly lost when you say that they are not connected here.
