As LSJ has already clarified, you cannot use "prevent X non-aggravated
damage" cards in conjunction com "treat agg damage as normal" effects
to prevent agg damage, since the damage is still aggravated in nature.
But note that Flesh of Marble superior *does* prevent agg damage in
excess of 1 point, so Flesh of Marble + Skin of Night effectively
works as intended - i.e., if you take, say, 4 agg damage, you'll have
to deal with only 1, that you can treat as normal damage, and the rest
is prevented.
But all the other cards you mentioned don't combo with Skin of Night
to prevent agg damage. In fact, you can't even play them if you're
taking agg damage. You just play Skin of Night and burn as much blood
as needed to heal the damage and avoid torpor.
