auras

Auras

Several magical archetypes have spells that allow a spellcaster to view another mortal's aura, sometimes called their chakra. An aura is a colored emanation said to enclose a human body or any animal or object. Magical practitioners have the ability to see the size, color and type of vibration of an aura.

Suggested Reading Description

GMs are invited to describe the aura a spellcaster sees, and allow them to piece together what is going on with the mortal they are viewing. GM may decide to give their own description, or they may rely on this procedure for a description.

  • Choose a color that describes the target's current emotional state
  • Choose a color that describes the target's physical state
  • Choose a color that describes the target's aspirations and motivations
  • Optionally choose how each of these colors may be vibrating to describe the origins of certain colors
  • Choose a configuration for the aura to describe the target's current focus
