Frankly I find most of the Shadowhunters more mundane than a lot of so-called mundanes. [Reid's sense of humor will fit right in.
His mission failed, Magnus perches on the back of the couch with his cup of tea, the better to give Reid access to all the shelves.]
Well, since I didn't bring the book... The terms did evolve around the beings. Shadowhunters have angel blood in them, it's where the nephilim stories first came from, and their magic is based in angelic runes that anyone without angel blood would go insane trying to use. I've seen that, it isn't pretty. Warlocks are half-demon, half-human. Vampires and werewolves are fairly close to the stories you've heard. Seelie are half-angel, half-demon. Very tricky. They can't lie, but I've never heard anyone weave words that well. All of the legends and warnings about elves and fairies come from the Seelie Court.
[Honestly this is much more fun than waiting around for his potions to finish stewing for the appropriate amount of time so he can add the next ingredients. There's a lot of freedom in being able to talk about these things to someone from a different world, and share things without risking the security of his own.]
