Cleansing Impression
Auspex •••, Obfuscate ••
Obfuscate is an excellent tool for keeping people from spying on you, but it’s less useful when your property can be convinced to give up your secrets. After all, a secret is only as good as its protection.
Effect
With an effort of will, the vampire neutralizes any psychic impressions on any and all objects around her. Anyone who examines an affected item with The Spirit’s Touch or any other form of past sensing gets the impression that no one has ever touched it and nothing has ever happened to it. This is distinct from the sensation of simply being unable to access the impression, and many seers find this sensation disturbing the first time they experience it.
Once an item has been cleansed, it remains void of impression until something meaningful happens to it — someone other than the cleansing Kindred picks it up, for example. Depending on how strong the vampire’s effort is, a greater or smaller number of objects are affected.

Side/Secondary Effects
Dramatic Failure: Instead of voiding the items, the character leaves a stronger impression. All future attempts to read the items are made with a +2 bonus.
Failure: The Devotion does nothing.
Success: Every unliving object within 10 feet is cleansed of psychic impressions. For each additional success, that radius increases by five feet.
Exceptional Success: As a standard success. The extra successes are their own reward, as they extend the radius.
