			You know the fine art of disappearing. Whether this involves
			a not-so-simple trick, the ability to cloud men’s minds, nanotech
			sensory disrupters, or some nameless power of obscurity, you possess
			a talent for getting lost. Especially in the age of cell-phone cameras,
			global databases, electronic trackers, DNA samples, and Closed
			Circuit TV monitors on every corner, Arcane – or its Technocratic
			version, '''''Cloaking''''' – is a useful Trait to have. Records get lost;
			cameras malfunction or record fuzzy images in your place; folks
			recall “Some guy... or girl, I guess – I’m really not sure.” Although
			this talent isn’t invisibility per se, it helps you blend in with crowds,
			blurs your features on camera, and allows you to slide in between
			the cracks of an increasingly monitored world.

			To mystic mages, Arcane is a bending of reality caused by
			fluctuations of metaphysical energy, like echoes or Resonance.
			As far as the Technocracy’s concerned, this is a perfectly
			explainable phenomenon... and they’ll get back to you with a
			reasonable explanation as soon as one meets the rigid criteria
			for disbursed information. The Union prefers to keep track
			of mysterious individuals, like Secret Agent John Courage,
			who manifest this Cloaking effect; doing so, however, is easier
			declared than achieved.

			Game-wise, you add your Arcane/ Cloaking dots as extra
			dice on all Stealth-related rolls. Your opponents reduce their
			Perception or Investigation dice pools by that same amount
			whenever someone tries to track you down. This benefit lasts for
			as long as you remain inconspicuous. In combat, folks can see
			you normally, although videos or pictures of that fight remain
			blurred. A Cloaked character who runs around shouting and
			being obvious will be obvious, although witnesses will probably
			disagree about his exact description after the event has passed.
			The Arcane/ Cloaking effect does not conceal really memorable
			features. A purple-haired dude with facial tattoos is going to
			get noticed, although folks may disagree about the shade of
			purple or the patterns of his tattoos.

			:X -- You’re as obvious as anybody else.
			:• -- You blend into crowds.
			:•• -- Your presence slides out of memory.
			:••• -- You’re that person no one easily recalls.
			:•••• -- Records, pictures, even memories of you are few and hard to find.
			:••••• -- You’re like a ghost in this world, known only to the folks you want to trust.
