- "It might, or might not, have helped Anathema get a clear view of things if she'd been allowed to spot the very obvious reason why she couldn't see Adam's aura.
- It was for the same reason that people in Trafalgar Square can't see England."

The power to expand one's presence/consciousness/soul throughout an area greater than their physical body. Sub-power of Presence Manipulation, often incorporating aspects of Aura Manipulation and Soul Manipulation.
Also Called[]
- Area Presence/Consciousness
- Externalized Presence
- Expanded Aura/Consciousness/Mind/Soul
Capabilities[]
The user can expand/spread their presence/consciousness/soul through a finite area that may encompass tens of meters, entire continents, whole planets, or vast swaths of outer-space extending up to Nigh-Omnipresence. The scale of power varies from user to user.
Normally a user's expanded presence is centered around their physical presence, but it may be projected to an alternate location and it may be independent of the need for a physical presence (in both such cases this power normally becomes known as "Area Presence").
Users with an Aura or an Influential Presence will have the effects of these powers extended to fill the full space encompassed by the Area/Expanded Presence. Users will have hyper awareness of everything within their area/expanded presence, where their senses will be elevated to enhanced, supernatural or even absolute levels.
