Capabilities
The user can create, shape and manipulate aura, the invisible etheric phenomenon/emanation produced by and surrounding a person or object.

Much like the ability, Life-Force Manipulation, the user can manipulate this kind of energy in various ways. However, this ability deals with the strength 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. Different types of aura are located in various 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.
 * Red (Muladhara) - Deals with the physical nature of the body.
 * Orange (Swadhisthana) - Deals with emotions.
 * Yellow (Manipura) - Deals with self-energy and willpower.
 * Green (Anahata) - Deals with healing.
 * Blue (Vishuddha) - Deals with intelligence.
 * Indigo (Anja) - Deals with mental communication.
 * Violet (Sahasrara) - Deals with awareness of illusions and obtaining a higher consciousness.
