Capabilities
Much like the ability, Life-Force Manipulation, the user can manipulate energy in various ways. However, this ability deals with the energy of their spiritual essence instead of the entire universe. Aura is the energy that is formed from one's achievement of spiritual power through extreme mental focus and strong emotions. Users of this power are able to increase their natural abilities, attract and repel the aura of others, sense the aura, and project it. Types of aura are located in different parts of the physical body such as the forehead, spine, throat, heart, and stomach. The power of the aura also changes with one's mood.

The Seven Auras/Chakras
There are 7 auras, each with their attributes and colors.
 * Muladhara (Red) - Deals with physical nature.
 * Swadhisthana (Orange) - Deals with emotion.
 * Manipura (Yellow) - Deals with self-energy and willpower.
 * Anahata (Green) - Deals with psychic healing.
 * Vishuddha (Blue) - Deals with intelligence.
 * Anja (Indigo) - Deals with mental communication.
 * Sahasrara (Violet) - Deals with awareness of illusions and obtaining a higher consciousness.
