Well, let's put it this way, I remove their ability to use the signiture against someone. The ability cannot be returned to them unless you are eigther God, or a many demi gods.

I'm confused.
A persons doesn't use their own signature against another person, so I am guessing you mean that you somehow prevent another person from using someone's signature to find them? But that doesn't quite match up with what you said either, and in any case, it's not really possible if it's a true sig....
The only way to prevent someone from using a sig to track and/or attack someone would be to burn out or block their abilities altogether.
If that's what you're referring to, I still am not certain whose abilities you're interfering with, in relation to the signatures in question.
If I have someone's signature, I can use it to locate them--provided their ability to hide isn't better than my ability to find them, of course. If I can locate them, I can do whatever else I like as well--help them, or attempt to harm them if I can get past their defenses, etc etc.
Now, grant you--I'm no mage. Maybe you're talking about some sort of spellwork?

Maybe you're talking about some sort of spellwork? Uh... I was trying to say, first off, is that I remove the ability to use Ki. They still have the sig, just unable to gain the powers it can give to someone. It's not in spell work eigther. I have control over a massive amounts of seperate abilities. But I am able to block out their abilities altogether. Tough process, but it works. Also, I can remove magic use from a mage, Which in truth, somewhat make me a mage in itself. I have sigs, spells, and abilities that were learned from people who knew it as a second hand(meaning it was burnt into their sigs.). This is the largest descussion over it that I have had in over a lifetime. Any more questions concerning me, or my abilities?

I'm still confused. Yes, I've heard of burning out someone's psi abilities permanently in combat...but I do not understand what this has to do with a person's signature.
Their signature is just their personal energy pattern...the pattern created by the unique configuration of their nervous system and energy systems. A person's signature is always recognizeably their own, any changes to it over the course of a lifetime would be fairly minor. Like a fingerprint or a retinal scan, it identifies them. The energy a person uses carries their signature pattern--it can be masked, but it cannot be entirely eliminated--thus, everything they touch when doing energy working/magick/whatever carries their "fingerprints", which can be used to track them down--that's why it's called a signature pattern--everyone inadvertantly "signs their work" as it were. Even if you burn a person out completely, their signature can still be used to track them down. They just won't know you're there.
Of course, you did say block, rather than burn out...a block can be removed. Burnout is permanent. Also, your signature will be all over the blocks, so anyone who sees it will be able to use it to find the person who created the block--that is, you.
So, I'm still trying to understand what it is you're talking about in regards to signatures.
If I mimic a person's signature, it's like showing you a photo of that person--I'm just causing a small bit of energy to take on the pattern of the person I'm "showing" to you. From that example, you can search around until you find a match--the individual who has that signature pattern.
So I ask again...what does it mean to block the ability to use a sig? Is there a misunderstanding of terminology here?

I said the wrong words. I meant that they are unable, ENTIRLY, to use any form of Magic or Ki. The misunderstanding is on my part.
You know, your the only one who cares, maybe we should meet. I could explain a lot more.

Unless you live in Colorado or Wyoming, it's unlikely.
Of course, the whole thing came around to my wanting a signature pattern for one of those "hunter" folks so I could check them out. <G> Obviously they aren't the ones you've blocked, or you wouldn't be concerned about them any longer.

I am still worried about their leaders, who came apon a certain couple of Extremely old books. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have to worry at all.

Extremely old books tend to be written in extremely old languages, which are a real bitch to translate. Not to mention the expense of restoring and prepping the books so that they don't fall into little tiny pieces the moment you touch them....it could take decades to translate an extremely old book without completely destroying it, if it was possible at all. Depends on what language it was written in, of course.
Then there's what you're going to do with what you find in the book....words by themselves have little power, it's the meaning they convey that has all the power. Turns of phrase, common references, so much of history is lost, and thus so much of the meaning in extremely old books is lost to us forever, even though we have the book with its words. Even Bram Stoker's Dracula, rich with period-significant references, has meanings in it that are lost even to historians now. And it is hardly an extremely old book.

Darkrank when you "remove somebody's ability" are they unable to manipulate energy all together?

That would be my understanding, and used in the field of battle. But yes, I beleive that was my entire point.

I can think of a few different ways that could be done--how do you actually do it--ie, what are the mechanics behind it?

I understand it like I understand binary. I b.e.l.i.e.v.e. that it is that I create a sphere of energy opposing the signiture of the one I am removing abilities from. Then I shoot it straight to their heart. the sphere usually has a draining property and a weird spell that is in a book in my mind. I haven't really been able to teach it to others.
anyways, the sphere drains them of almost all their energy, down to their minimal level, then releases the spell onto the victom, the spell being, kinda like a seal spell, but almost completely unremovable. I don't even remember how exactly I remove it myself.
That is what I know, slightly.
