The paradox is along the lines of you receive power by not
acknowledging you have anything desirable, such as power.
 So the taboo is something about having self-confidence
and accepting a compliment without saying "I didn't really
do anything.  Anyone could have done that" or the like.

(Random magick likely involves messing with people's
self-opinions and improving oneself, while being unable to
acknowlede it)

Not an easy school to roleplay, so perhaps best or GMCs.
