A magician’s sympathetic connections allow her to reach out beyond herself, but they are also an avenue by which her enemies can attack her. This spell conceals one of the subject’s sympa- thetic links, chosen by the mage from those she is aware of. Any attempt to uncover or use the link provokes a Clash of Wills.
+1 Reach: Rather than suppressing a sympathetic link, the mage may instead make the subject appear to have a link to someone or something else instead. Attempts to detect the link provoke a Clash of Wills to see through the deception.
+1 Reach: The spell prevents the subject from being used as a sympathetic Yantra (p. 122) as well as removing its links; each level of Potency reduces all potential uses of the subject as a Yantra from Material, to Representational, to Symbolic, to suppressing them entirely.
+2 Reach: The mage may suppress all the subject’s sympathetic links. This effect applies in both directions; not only does the subject lose his links to loved ones, but those people lose their links to him. The spell is Withstood by the strongest connection the subject has.
