Great Dragons might be able to do it, and so might IE's. But it's not likely that
any character will meet either on a regular basis...

Basically, what Tarek said. It's like part of your aura that you can't quite shave
off, and even if you mask it, the spell ignores the masking.

Otherwise:"Well, Oh, then I'll mask my aura to be a 'fridge when you cast detect
person, mask my aura to be a dragon when you cast slay human, etc." CAN of Worms.
Masking can be used to acquire immunity to most spells (provided you know they're
coming, but yeah.)

----arguably, this is what shielding is, so there is allready a game system for it.
Masking an aura to look like something you're not can use the shielding rules to
add to the target number to pierce the masking (although there are already rules
for such a thing anyway).
