Is it reasonable for a character with the Goetic Arts of Ablation, Binding, or Command (ie the ABC of Goetia...) to be unaware of the Realm association of their Goetic Art and think that it is aligned with the Faerie/Magic realm with an unholy taint rather than the Infernal realm?
eg. An Islamic spirit master (sahir) believing himself to belong to a tradition descended from teachings passed down from King Solomon has the Favoured Abilities: Second Sight, Summoning, Binding and Command which he believes are aligned to the Magic Realm. He recognises some of his traditional teachings derive from the fallen grigori Harut and Marut, but refuses to believe through Pride (Major Personality Flaw and a great Story Hook for infernal corruption) that they were anything but Magical beings, even though they were no longer Divine. In any case he believes he can command jinn, airy spirits and demons due to his Pride in his exceptional tradition...
Although his Infernal aligned Goetic Arts will be affected by Magic auras (-1 x aura instead of +1 x aura) and Divine auras (-5 x aura instead of -3 x aura), the difference might be subtle for the latter if he avoids the Dominion areas. Coupled with Cthonic Magic and the Corrupted Arts Flaw for his Summoning power, this may not seem too different for the character as it offests some of the penalties for using his powers in Infernal or Magic auras.
After all, only Divine or Infernal methods can detect the unholy taint of Summoning - a character with Summoning aligned to the Faerie realm say and no other abilities but Command would not themselves be able to tell that their Command powers stem from the Infernal.
As a precedent, RoP:tI implies that Misguided Tradition groups like the Luciferans, Benandanti (see Strigae) and Witch Hammers do not necessarily realise their powers spring from the Infernal realm IIRC.
Is this scenario best represented by the Delusion or Manufactured Ignorance Flaws? Or something else entirely?
Thanks,
