Actually, that's only partially correct. Shielding is an exclusive action,
while Masking is an automatic one. -ACTIVE- use of Masking, such as to mask
another object or being is an exclusive action. Centering precedes the
actual casting of a given spell or calling of a particular entity, thus it
can be used in conjunction with exclusive magic.
