   Probably not. The supernatural rules binding the vampire most likely are based on the notion of “possession of area,” and therefore bypassing the border would not undo the restriction. I mean, it probably could beam him down there, but he’d explode or something.

   A friend and I had the following back-and-forth about it:

   Him: Great question! I think the vampire would fail to materialize.

   Me: I think it depends on if the anti-vampire ward is a “barrier” or if it “infuses” the entire house.

   I believe it would be the latter. Besides, if it were a barrier, transporters can’t beam through shields, either!

   What if Geordi used a tachyon beam to create a non-warded bubble inside the house to beam the vampire into?

   I still think the house would be “infused.” Couldn’t get a lock. Closest parallel in Star Trek to magic involved is the Q. If Q made a house impregnable, no technobabble could get in.

   But Q’d never make it impregnable, he’d always make it a test. He’s kinda like the Riddler that way.

   I’m just using Q as an example of “magic.”

   Magic is just science you don’t understand yet. If Wesley Crusher became a vampire, could he enter any house he wanted to?

   Wesley as the Traveler’s apprentice? Probably.
