 ====== 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.
 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.

 ===== Aura Vibrations =====
+  * Calm - The target's feelings are repressed, or old
+  * Dancing - The feelings come and go, wheeling between poles
+  * Coursing - The target's feelings are toward those the aura points toward, particularly in cases of rage, jealousy, or attraction
+  * Pulsing - The target's feelings are very close to the surface
+  * Ragged - There is something mad or sick with respect to this aura
+  * Rippling - The target's aura is manifest and active, driven directly at a target
+  * Solid - The target is either an inanimate object, or an unfeeling being without emotion
+  * Swirling - The target's aura is pulling other feelings and vibrations from other nearby mortals
 ===== Aura Configurations =====
+  * Beside - A shadowy aura that stands beside the main aura indicating self-doubt, inner questioning, or perhaps hidden spiritual possession
+  * Boundary - A thick, blotchy boundary to the aura indicates a stoic, blocked posture
+  * Brooding - An aura that vibrates calmly, but it continually juts out and back in, ready to explode at any moment indicates some sort of inner turmoil or conflict
+  * Denial - An aura jutting out at odd angles indicates a deceptively defensive posture, ready to defend or flee
+  * Display - When an aura fizzing and burning closely indicates an offensive but careful posture
+  * Expressing - A swirling and roiling aura indicates an offensive but friendly posture
+  * Grasping - An aura reaching out toward another indicates an attacking or actively manipulative posture
+  * Hooked - If a target's aura appears to hang limply indicates that the target is being actively manipulated by another either magically or socially
+  * Hysterical - An aura with plain bald spots with and random crackles of energy indicates that the target is not quite aware of the situation, or they are unclear of what their reaction should be in the case due to confusion or madness
+  * Spined - A curved, spiny aura indicates an aggressive posture, ready to strike
+  * Tentacled - The aura indicates a deceptive and possibly aggressive posture when it branches and reaches out in tentacles from the target
+  * Withdrawing - A tight, withdrawing aura indicates a defensive posture, perhaps ready to flee physically or figuratively from confrontation
