Ah. . . :D
Hmmm. . . I'll be an American exchange student. Sucks to be me. :D

All I get by Googling it is "Golden Dawn" references, and they are summoners and occulists. They also like "enlightenment" and purification stuff.

Interesting. So which strand of magic was Hermes in command of? I assume Witchcraft was just a type of magic.

Except, as the first post said, Cronos no longer had the strength in our present to do it. I suppose he could have sent Dracula back in the 1500s or 1600s, when the Renascence revived interest in ancient greek culture and he would have a little strength. You'd need a good reason for him to help you, though. Revenge might work, as Jesus was responsible for his downfall.And "god of magic" seems more like he helps mortals with powers. If he had dominion over all magic, ie. domain over god powers, he'd be on par with Odin.Travel might work, but it would take a lot of energy to travel so far into the past.Also, I thought Hecate was goddess of magic?Well, in the case of demigods like Heracles, the "god-fetus" came from sometimes asexually reproducing deity Zeus (as happened with Athena). It could be made to work, but you could also say his "Mom" merely taught him magic (in the form of stat buffs or something) and then he learned to tap into belief/prayer as a power source.
Also, the Muslims during the Middle Ages, researched the Greeks/Romans a lot during earlier centuries than the 1400's and 1500's.

You'd have to have a good way to get him there. I had to resurrect a god to go back.The form of time travel I use simply puts you in your former self. You only get your memories of the future back by going through the same events (you just "know" what will happen if you make a certain decision) or, like me, by getting them again through experiencing the events through premonitions. As he doesn't have a body back there, that form would be worthless. And their aren't too many deities with power over time.

Slight problem, Vlad the Impaler, whom the Dracula legend is based on, wasn't until the mid 15 century. We're starting in the mid sixth century, so it will be a while before we can meet up.That said, there are plenty of dark gods to play as. I figure Lucifer will join us at some point, as might Set and Hades.
