Auras are brought out by a person projecting their authority, and may be used subconsciously.<ref name=":1">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/10/16/5-29/ Chapter 5.29]</ref> It's possible for it to be as large as to cover an entire nation.<ref name=":8">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/09/17/9-59-o/ Chapter 9.59 O]</ref> Auras can be used to influence the actions of others, see the User in an inspiring image, or inflict terror and other emotions. The powers of an aura are informed by the user's class, with some auras being superior over others.

=== Potency and Concentration ===
=== Potency and Concentration ===
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. 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.

The first part of Aura training, refinement and control is learning to gather and concentrate the aura.<ref name=":4">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/03/09/8-68/ Chapter 8.68]</ref> By consolidating one's own aura, it serves as defense against other auras.<ref name=":2" /> When mastered, even weak auras can resist most other Auras. Offensively, concentrating one's aura can allow the User to harm incorporeal beings such as Djinni<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/06/8-26-fk/ Chapter 8.26 FK]</ref>, Daemons<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/05/03/8-85/ Chapter 8.85]</ref> and [[Wisps]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/08/30/9-55-pt-1/ Chapter 9.55 (Pt. 1)]</ref> It can be refined to a razor's edge.<ref name=":8" /> Auras can also be used to read the nature of other auras,<ref name=":3">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/05/02/8-20/ Chapter 8.20]</ref> and physically affect objects and people. For example, [Ladies] of Izril use it in combination with [Deft Hand] to physically shove others.<ref name=":0" /> With advanced control, an aura can be used to warm a target, even without a fire affinity.<ref name=":6">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/06/07/9-43-l/ Chapter 9.43 L]</ref>
