When you have your aura masked and someone assenses you, you make an opposed test (Intuition+Assensing vs. Magic+Initiate Grade).
Let's assume, the one assensing you has 4 successes and you got 3. He can now see both auras (obviously able to tell that yours is masked). However, what information does he get? Since he only has 1 net success, does he only get the information based on that? So, even though he knows that the aura is masked, he still cannot get a whole lot of information out of it? Is that correct? Bye Thanee |

That is how I interpret it. The masking is like trying to see one picture while another is overlaid. You have a hard time reading anything about the first (true) image due to the distortion the second causes.
Perhaps allow a second test a penalty to try and get a read on the true aura, now that they know it is there. |

I would only use the original successes and then give info based on what was made.
You thought at first this person had no aura at all, a typical mundane, but then noticed a faint aura is leaking out, faint but there. |
