* ArtisticLicenseReligion: In ''Shadows Bite'', Solomon Tudor (sorcerer) accepts "An it harm none, do what thou wilt" as what Creator/AleisterCrowley said was the Whole of the Law. Crowley actually said "Do what thou Wilt shall be the whole of the Law." "An it Harm None" was added by [[UsefulNotes/{{Neo-Paganism}} Gerald Gardner]], and while Wiccans and several other groups of neopagans use that version, they do not tend to cite Crowley, nor do Thelemites use Gardner's version.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: The vampires in ''Shadows Bite'' have strength, speed, and healing, and can only be killed by decapitation or burning. They have the bite of ecstasy power, and can turn people simply by draining them and leaving them. They also have the power attributed to many Eastern European vampires of being able to chew on their own flesh and drain blood from living relatives.
