Editing Character:Avena, the Silent Blade (section)

===Artifact 3 (Heaven’s Shroud Mask)===
This ivory mask allows the wearer to alter her appearance to look like anyone she wishes and to completely control the emotions that her face shows. Mechanically it adds four dice to Larceny rolls for any attempt at disguise, and four dice to any attempt to misdirect another as regards to the wearer’s true motives. 

Its other power is what gives it its name though. While wearing the mask, it increases the amounts of peripheral motes that must be spent to activate any given level of her anima by (7-essence/2, rounded up). As long as the wearer is a Night Caste, it also cuts in half the number of peripheral motes feeding her anima display. This power can be shut off and on at will, which may result in a sudden burst of light and revealing of one’s anima banner.

This artifact attunes for 4 motes.
