Definição de "scumble"?

Na série de livros "Savvy", a palavra "scumble" é usada da maneira que penso ser original. Tenho a sensação de que está relacionado ao uso das habilidades mais experientes que os personagens têm, mas não tenho certeza de qual seria uma definição exata.

Uma definição do Google é:

verb: modify (a painting or color) by applying a very thin coat of opaque paint to give a softer or duller effect. "the area surrounding the main figures will be scumbled"

noun: a thin, opaque coat of paint or layer of shading applied to give a softer or duller effect.

Isso não parece relevante, a menos que em algum sentido metafórico?

Uma definição é dada na descrição do livro Scumble on Amazonas:

Now, in addition to trying to figure out how to control - or scumble - his [Ledge's] savvy, he's got to worry about how to protect the family secrets.

No livro (pp. 250-251), a conexão com a pintura é explicada:

“Did you know that the word scumble is a painting term, Ledge?”

I shook my head.

“Momma could explain it to you better,” he went on. “But the way I understand it, scumbling is a technique painters use to tone down a color so bright it jumps right off the canvas—so intense it takes over—making it hard to notice anything else about the painting. Scumbling doesn't get rid of that bright color, it blends it better with the rest of the picture. It evens everything out. That way the painting feels more balanced.

...

“Scumbling is not about you trying to fit in with the rest of the world; it’s about making your savvy fit in better with you. It’s simply learning to balance all the different parts of yourself so that you don’t let the one thing that feels most out-of-control take over and rule your life. Get it?”
