Well. I was assuming that the "separate species" theory was debunked
when whozerface and whozizface started cross-training on each other's
spells. Of course, since just about everything can interbreed with
everything else, including wewewolves and demons and vampires, oh my,
it's problematic to call *any* of them truely distinct species, perhaps.
Hm. No, wait; have there been any half-vampires? Or are they definitely
just augmented/diminshed humans? Certainly they have a more obscure
afterlife, so they are a *bit* more distinct than the other seem to be.
But still... doesn't seem species-like at all.
