Glamour and Thaumaturgy (or evocation) veils, are they one in the same? If someone using evocation and or thaumaturgy in my opinion are not coming to the table with the same power set as someone with glamour. Are the rule sets still considered in glamour veils that are offered in the spell casting section?

Glamour works the same way as regular blocks. You have to redo them every turn. Magical veils can last beyond the one round, assuming you put the shifts into it.

Thanks!

Thaumathurgic veils are immobile.
Evocation veils provide a two-way block worth half its value unless you add 2 shifts to make it transparent from inside. Glamours don't have this down-side.
Glamours can be used as a block, but they are actually supposed to be used as a stealth replacement. Which means, you only roll your glamours when someone rolls alertness to spot you. It's an opposed roll.
Basically, you say, "I sneak in"
Then, when appropriate, someone will roll to spot you and you will roll to not be seen. But instead of using stealth, you use discipline or deceit.
