Monarchs have more naturally potent auras than [Lords] and [Ladies] by virtue of hierarchy. They are good at being forceful without training and have less need to hone their auras, making them innately better at basic aura use, while giving them a natural defense against rival auras.<ref name=":0" /> The domain of the user's authority can affect potency. For example, an [Innkeeper]'s aura will be stronger within their inn than outside of it. Yet a trained User can use their on anything they can see, even across the world.<ref>{{VERef|Vernoue (Pt. 1) - Interlude}}</ref> | Potency is the strength of an aura, and increases with the user's level.<ref name=":2" /> For example, auras are said to not be the purview for [Strategists]; but [[Niers Astoragon]], a Level 66 [Strategist] possesses an aura the size of a Giant, despite being untrained in aura manipulation.<ref>[[Interlude – Of Vampires and Fraerlings|Interlude - Of Vampires and Fraerlings]]</ref> Potency is also influenced by the user's class.
