The stars, infinite in brightness and eternal in memory, record our past. At times they share their memories, knowledge and wisdom with others. The Dur-An-Ki practitioners, fluent in the language of Heaven and Earth, know well the stars and their power to reveal secrets.
While beneficial to the Sorcerers of Clan Assamite, this sort of knowledge can also be detrimental to some of their clans’ activities. However, the methods of obfuscation are not enough to protect Haqim’s children from this information slipping into the wrong hands.
To address this problem, a Sorcerer of the clan attempted to combine their powers of obfuscation with the magics of the Path of Hunter’s Winds. What they got from these experiments was not what was expected, but they soon learned that their efforts were not in vain. Ultimately, the Sorcerer was able to combine these gifts to create a means of hiding their actions from the eyes and memories of the stars.
System:
When activated, this power protects the user from any attempts (current or later) to be discovered or seen via powers of divination or scrying. Examples include but not limited to the use of things like Prophesy, Eyes of the past, and divination powers such as oracular ability.
This protection manifests by requiring anyone attempting to utilize these powers to throw a mental challenge against the user. This challenge is retested with stealth for the user of Veil of the Magi vs. investigation for the person attempting to break through the veil. The user of veil of the magi wins ties for this series of challenges, and receives a number of bonus traits equal to their Obfuscate rating.
If the user of Veil of the Magi is successful, there is no information gleaned about their presence during the scene being investigated. It is as if they were never there. Eyes of the past and other powers may reveal information about anyone else present during this time period. Prophesy and powers of divination may provide clues about what happened. However, those clues will not point at the individual protected with this power. This may lead to an interesting vision or view of a scene after the fact, but what it won’t do is provide any clues or insight regarding the user of this power.
