This is one of those cases of "strict versus loose adherence of the lore" where you may find some people accepting of the concept without questioning it at all where others will stamp their feet and demand to know what the precedent for such a thing is.
Personally speaking, I don't mind a bit of deviation from what we're given. Â I think that's to be expected, and the mood mask concept seems creative and innovative, doesn't step into anything that seems like it couldn't possibly exist in Eorzea, and isn't something that grants uncanny powers or anything godmodish. Â I wouldn't even seek too much to explain the "science" behind it. Â Perhaps call it aetherial magic and leave it at that maybe. Â I mean you can if you want, but I think that would just invite further scrutiny.
I have taken similar liberties with similar such things. Â A warding spell that blocks noise is something I've employed, for instance. Â Protect is a spell. Â I see no reason why the flows of aether cannot be woven in such a manner as to block sounds instead of physical attacks - because duskwight ears are hypersensitive and Eva's babies are fussy and need sleep!
