But if he switches to astral perception-- costly, but useful if you beat
up on spirits-- he can be astrally active. And I don't recall anyplace that
it says you *can't* disguise your aura to look like whatever you want in
the Grimoire. The examples given are things like "look like a non-initiate"
and "look like a mundane", but "look like someone/something else"
seems to
be in the range of possibilities.
