Heavenly Demon Arts/Heavenly Demon Aura

## Overview

Heavenly Aura is the core of Heavenly Demon Arts chi-manipulation technique. The aura radiates power from the user, improving all physical abilities and providing magical protection. With focus the aura can be channeled externally into beams and manipulating forces, as well as being channeled into weapons. Heavenly Aura is similar to the Force used by master warriors of the desert and continental kingdoms but operates on completely different core principles. Heavenly Aura consists of at least 15 tiers of power, each level exponentially higher than the other and each draining significantly more ki.
