Our group allows the Masking of Quickenings. We also limit the number
of Quickenings to the Initiate's level. We also restrict Initiates
to one Metamagic ability, of their choice, per Initiation.

In my opinion, allowing Quickenings to be Masked is excessive.
Nor can I think of a way to `explain' it in game terms.

In our game, our Snake Shaman is an initiate level 5, has Increased
Willpower, Reaction, Mask, and Armour all Quickened and Masked.
He appears to be an ordinary mundane person.
