Obfuscate ***** * : Mental Wall

This power was created in conjunction between Pedro and Henrique. It leads anyone scrying Pedro's mind into delving deeper in Pedro's memories, instead of searching elsewhere (if this word has a meaning in the field of mind scrying!).

System: Automatic

Anyone scrying the active personality (normally: Pedro) will see the first 3 successes appplied automatically to the active personnality, the remaining being treated in a special way: If the 4th greater success is greater or equal than the inactive personnality's willpower, then the one scrying will detect something is strange, as if it lacked something. The others success can be used as wanted by the one scrying, but their score must be as great as the mind's willpower they try to scry. Note that once the one scrying knows something is amiss, she will know where to search: The next time, the 4th success will be considered a 1 success to scry the inactive mind, the 5th the 2nd, and so on...

For example, Pedro has 5 in Willpower, and Hendrique 8. If Pedro is active, and Elle tries to scry him, she will see nothing if she makes only 3 successes or less. If her fourth greater dice is 8 or greater, then she knows something is strange. If her fiveth dice is 8 or greater, then she knows immediately some strange memory that is searching in the Verve Network.

The next time, Elle knows where to search, but she must pass the first 3 successes of Pedro's mind layers. The 4th gives her superficial information about what is going in the Verve, the 5th the name Henrique, and the 6th the fact thet this Henrique is the true name of the soul inhabiting the body of Pedro, without Pedro's knowledge.
