@Kampfarsch Mirrors only don't work when and because they are made of Silver. Polished steel or brass or water work just fine. It is the silver that is anathema to a vampire. Modern mirrors use aluminium a lot of the time, so they should work too.
This of course may vary from fictional universe to fictional universe.
@QeDelphyn uh no ? most vampire stories only say that they dont have a reflection not that its related to an actual mirror at all and im pretty sure silver is the weakness of werewolves not of vampires?
Yuh it's so nice seeing background characters who aren't douchebags all the time. Even the usual drunk guys-- it makes the world feel a lot less threatening.
