Thaumaturgy - Path of Blood 5
Obfuscate 3
MET Mechanics:
Observers of a kindred using blood magic can normally tell what blood magic paradigm the Thaumaturge is casting, such as Dur An Ki or Ahku. Powers such as Thaumaturgical Sight identify paradigms as well. A Thaumaturge possessing this combination discipline is able to mask the form of Thaumaturgy they are casting to make it appear as another.
 
System:
Requires: Any path of Thaumaturgy x5, Obfuscate x3,  Blood Magic Lore x 5
 
The user expends a mental trait apply the Paradigm Mask and chooses a specific Blood Magic Paradigm, which lasts the night unless changed. The user must possess appropriate clan lore to assume a convincing mask (e.g Assamite Lore for Dur An Ki, Setite Lore for Ahku). Whenever the Thaumaturge uses a Thaumaturgy power or uses or possesses an item enchanted using Thaumaturgy, it will appear to all observers as if they're using the paradigm chosen when the mask was activated. A kindred with Thaumaturgical sight active who sees the caster perform thaumturgy may make a mental challenge, retest investigation, countered by subterfuge. Success means the investigator can see through the mask and identify the appropriate paradigm. Auspex alone will not allow an observer to pierce the Paradigm Mask. Individuals using investigative powers that view the past or see the scene from afar such as Eyes of the Past or Scry will be automatically fooled by the Paradigm mask and may not attempt to break it. Items enchanted using thaumaturgy which are not in the possession of the user of Paradigm Mask can be identified as the paradigm used to create them. For example if a user of Paradigm Mask normally uses Dur An Ki, but sets their Paradigm Mask to Ahku, observers will believe all of their items and magic cast is of the Ahku paradigm. However, if that user drops a warded weapon, then that weapon can be identified as being created by Dur An Ki.
