Aura

Background

Aura is the ability to produce energy that surrounds and envelops the user. This energy, which can be used consciously or subconsciously, serves various purposes, including intimidation, enhancement, and defense. The user can create, shape, and manipulate aura, a form of life-force energy that manifests as an invisible etheric phenomenon emanating from a person or object.

Similar to Life-Force Manipulation, aura focuses on the strength of an individual's spiritual essence rather than the entirety of universal energy. Aura is formed through the user's spiritual power, driven by intense mental focus and strong emotions. This energy can amplify the user's physical and mental capabilities, influence others' auras, detect auras, and project energy outward. Aura often reflects a user's emotional state and can be channeled through specific points in the body, such as the heart, spine, and forehead.
