± Ok, look at it this way. Imagine the spell lock is a really bright light
± source (which is probably what it looks like in astral anyway). Hold up a
± piece of paper in front of the light source; you can still see the light
± through the paper, assuming it's bright enough. A spell lock (or any other
± kind of active focus) is brighter than any living thing's aura. So it
± doesn't matter how much of your personal aura you surround it with, the
± glow from the lock is going to give itself away. That's where the masking
± ability comes in.

Well the point is that even if you see the light, you wont be able to
hit it unless you tear through the piece of paper. So hiding a lock or focus
inside your body (aura) one way or another means that you are putting
yourself between the attacker and the object.
