Aural Affinity Attunement — Arcane energy conversion occurs with bias dependent on the user's skill and natural energy affinities which may be displayed as an Affinity Spectrum. No two Affinity Spectrums are the same much as no two aural fingerprints are the same; this is due to the unique attributes of each user's metaphysical energy profile and their attunement to one or more types of energy.

A user who has an affinity for elemental energies will often maintain a higher conversion ratio relative to non-elemental energies. However, this natural attunement does not provide the in-depth and applicable understanding gained from direct study and experience; an individual with an extremely high natural affinity for kinetic based energy may possess a less efficient conversion ratio than a novice who has a modest understand of—and experience with —kinetic energy conversion. In combination, an individual with in-depth knowledge of and experience with kinetic energy as well as a high attunement/affinity wiłł most always possess a higher conversion ratio than individuals possessing only one or the other.

Certain devices and methods are capable of detecting, processing, and formatting an individual's Aural Affinity as an interactive Aural Affinity Spectrum such that it may be analyzed and – in some cases — altered as necessary. The alteration of an individual's Aural Affinity Spectrum can be accomplished through the use of special aura-altering methods and devices; these alterations may be temporary or permanent though are potentially harmful to the individual's natural aura if performed improperly.

One such aura-altering device is the Affinity Chamber which specializes in the analyzation and alteration of aural attunement in-regards to energy affinity. An archive of specific energy frequencies are provided to the Affinity Chamber which then utilizes both arcane and ethereal energies to tune' an individual's current aura to the selected energy frequency(s) as closely as possible.

When performed temporarily, the altering effects are placed as an over-lying enchantment which expires after a given period of time, or after a triggered event. These forms of atterations are less hazardous and energy intensive though require reapplication and are susceptible to various types of energy detection.

Permanent alterations, likewise, contain a higher risk of permanent, unintentional aura alteration when performed with less-than-adequate equipment or by inexperienced operators. These alterations persist indefinitely, and act as the user's natural aura affinity—thus—are less susceptible to energy-detection. Permanent alteration is highly energy-intensive though often results in a more finely-tuned affinity.

Aura alterations contain the inherent risk of invalidating a user's pre-existing Aural Fingerprint which may affect items such as CXCs, SIA accounts, and active friendly-unit profiles. While more prominent with permanent alterations, this occurrence can largely be reduced with the use of a Core Aura Overlay which provides active emissions consistent with the user's pre-existing aura. Additionally, a user may choose to update their Aural Fingerprint with their current aura (unadvised for temporary alterations).
