How would you give them the aura of a magically active individual? That's
the crux of my problem here, I guess.

I don't understand how you change one without affecting the other, in
either direction. I can accept perhaps that Masking works by preventing
the minor magical activity, subconscious, that goes on in a mage that gives
them away as magical when assensed. That I can work with, even if I don't
particularly like it. When actively working magic, it immediately becomes
apparent that that guy is a mage, it's consistent for me. Now, changing an
aura that is supposed to reflect the base nature of the thing it derives
from, how is that done? If altering the aura affects the body (damage
suffered in astral combat manefests as damage to the physical body, for
instance), how do you alter the aura and not the physical body?
Am I being clear?
