Alter Mental Pattern (Mind ••)
Practice: Veiling
Primary Factor: Potency
Suggested Rote Skills: Science, Stealth, Subterfuge
The mage can alter the subject’s basic mental flow, changing her subconscious thoughts and surface emanations to reflect any mental or emotional state the mage wishes. The spell does not actually alter the subject’s state of mind, but instead alters how she projects herself, shielding her from supernatural powers that would read her thoughts, or attempt to pierce her normal veil of lies and misdirection. Add the spell’s Potency to relevant Subterfuge rolls.Supernatural powers that read the surface thoughts or emotions of the subject provoke a Clash of Wills.
