Well, no. Maybe it's me, but that is masking - changing your aura to reflect
false information. Changing your aura to block spells is (my arguement) spell
defense / shielding / reflective shielding / whatever else is new in MITS etc,
that I haven't seen. I mean it's already there! This could also be used to
justify (personal) spell barriers and other stuff.
