myth's Belated DMSI 3.1 Journal

[Shannon]

I don't recall where I saw it, but I think Shannon mentioned that the aura shielding is only part of the A script. If you used B, I don't think the aura shield was actively powered, but clarification on that would be welcome.

Yeah, I'd been on B at that point. Maybe I'd misunderstood, but I'd thought that the auric shielding was in both, while only the emotional shielding for healing was in A. I wouldn't mind the clarification either.

Also, auric shielding may also not have applied in quite the way that I would've hoped either. I've never been entirely clear on whether it's intended to keep DMSI's effects from being "borrowed" by others, whether it's intended to prevent DMSI's effects from upsetting bystanders, or both. But it'll definitely put a damper on things if I'm holding back with enthusiastic responders to avoid agitating a grudge-wielding ex. Mostly because I know that she's actively trying to keep that grudge at bay. Whether you fear bears or not, poking one in the eye -- when it's trying not to eat you -- is probably just asking for trouble.

Auric shielding is in A and B. Emotional shielding, which does an entirely different job, is only in A.

Auric shielding is only intended to act as a protective effect. It's designed to prevent you from being negatively influenced or affected by others energy-wise as much as possible. So when haters are stewing at home on how much they hate you, their hate is being sent to you and then you are happily redirecting it to a /dev/null output.
