Well, in general, you'll have to take the Mask and blur and lighten it, then use it as the mask of a solid-black picture, which you draw with the desired offset. The lightening is easy enough (you can use RGBSurface.Transform), as is the rest of it -- except the blurring. That's hard to do quickly in RB. So, you may need a plugin for the blurring to get the desired speed. Otherwise, you can get fairly close with well-optimized RB code -- though wanting to generalize it to allow for any amount of blur will be harder.
