Magic/Magical Aura

**Magical Aura** is a common term given to the exertion of magical energy into a form outside of the user's body that isn't used in the formation of spells. It has been demonstrated by various mages of varying potency, and is a common means of intimidation.

## Information

* **Type**: Magic
* **Users**: Various Mages

## Description

A Magical Aura is created when the body's container of Ethernano particles exceeds the limits of what it contains, or is purposefully released by the user. Upon doing so, the magical energy surges around the body and is exerted outwards in the form of an aura, which holds considerable pressure surrounding it. Depending on the level of magical power one possesses and the control behind it, Magical Aura can be used as a means to intimidate another individual or as preparation for a powerful spell. A single Magical Aura can have a wide variety of effects dependent on the power an individual exerts, which will be outlined in the following sections.

### Standard Aura

A **Standard Aura** is produced by Mages with a moderate level of Magic Power within their body. By exerting it outward, it forms a thin layer of pressure that can intimidate others, such as Non-Mages as well as Mages of a weaker level. This is generally demonstrated by individuals of S-Class strength when they are holding back, or when standard Mages are showing that they're entering their full reserves of power. It should be noted that the density of this aura can be used to easily repel physical attacks, though it should be noted that only S-Class Mages have been shown using Magical Aura this way.

### S-Class Aura

An **S-Class Aura** is one demonstrated solely by S-Class Mages or above in potency, and is generally reserved to the strongest of S-Class as a consequence of their sheer magical strength. When exerted, the S-Class Aura takes the form of an overwhelming level of pressure that surrounds the user in a glow (that's color is based on the user's personality) which encompasses a certain radius and demonstrates a level of strength that leaves most Mages unable to react to it unless they've had continual exposure or exert an aura of similar potency. However, the problem with this kind of aura is that using it continuously will eventually leave the user severely fatigued although, considering the amount of Magic Power most S-Class Mages have, this is rarely the case. The variety of effects achievable with this kind of aura are quite high, as it can take on different shapes as well as to repel both magical and physical assaults.

### "Monster" Aura

A **Monster Aura**, as one may guess by its name, is the strongest classification of aura to date. Only extremely powerful mages are capable of using this kind of Magical Aura, usually being restricted to Guild Masters and sometimes Guild Aces Two individuals have shown with this type of aura, notably Gildarts Clive and Makarov Dreyar, both with tremendous levels of Magic Power. Upon release, the magic almost consumes the user in their unique color, leaving nothing but a phantom-like apparition in their wake. It should also be noted that "Monster" Aura is far wider, and is generally uncontrolled by the individual.
