Hereditary Aura Manipulation

Magic Name: Hereditary Aura Manipulation
Magic Type: Ancient (+50% spell damage)
Description:
Since the Spirit Warrior and the blessing that allowed him to control his aura outside his body, his ancestors have all become quite prone to aura and energy-based abilities. The Granon family became one such group of these ancestors through Sorano's mother's bloodline, and that affinity for auric manipulation was passed down to Sorano as a result. While the most obvious manifestation of these abilities was through her ability to pull her auric form outside of her physical body for use in battle, Sorano's emotional training under her previous mentor allowed her to unlock additional abilities, allowing her even greater and finer control over aspects of the aura.
Using auric energy, Sorano is able to use the power of emotions and various forms of energy that exist in all living and magical entities to cast spells, a form of magic that has existed since the beginning of time, harnessing some of the very basics of energy manipulation. The magic depends solely on the energy of entities around her to cast, and as such, can continue to function even in places void of ethernanos, such as the Neutral Grounds.
- Lineage:
- Spirit Warrior
Description: A legendary war hero was once severely wounded in battle, losing control of his arms and legs. His life was rough beyond belief, but his spirit remained high and strong. He awoke one day to discover he had a strange white aura around him; and that he could move his arms and legs again. He was so overcome with joy he flailed his arms about, causing parts of the aura to shoot off of him and actually cause damage to his room. He didn't know how, but his spirit somehow manifested outside of his body, allowing him to use it for walking and combat. It wasn't permanent, but he did learn to control this new ability and bring it out to his will. It’s said his descendants are the only ones known to be able to do such a thing.
Ability: The user forces out their spirit to emanate around them in a white (or black if you’re a dark mage) aura, allowing them to manipulate it in various ways.
Usage: Upon usage, the user loses the ability to cast any of their magic abilities. Instead, for once per thread and for 5 posts or until destroyed they can manipulate their spirit aura to fight their foes in a variety of ways like a puppet. The aura protects the user from all damage but will take it itself. The spirit is vulnerable and not affected by armor or defensive abilities, having the default HP of the user’s rank. If the spirit is destroyed the user will take 50% of their current HP in damage. All damage it deals is the user’s rank in spell damage.
- Unique Abilities:
- Energetic Vision: Sorano is able to see all forms of energy at work with a simple thought within 400 meters, allowing her to witness the flow of energy in a spell (e.g. the building up of energy for a charge up spell, the movement of a spell that doesn't have any obvious effects, the presence of buffs on a person, etc.), the magical signatures of others, as well as the emotions present in someone's aura, and the workings of energy in general, such as the transfer of heat, movement of electricity through a wire, etc. Observations of someone else's magic or emotional state must be done with consent.
- Energetic Manipulation: Sorano is able to control the energy within 300 meters of herself, changing the temperature freely, moving objects around without touching them, and even influencing others' emotions (though only with their consent). This manipulation may not affect anyone else's spells without permission, and cannot be used in battle for offensive, defensive, or supportive purposes.
- Energetic Regeneration: Due to Sorano's connection with the energy around her, she is able to siphon some of it out of her surroundings to replenish her own. She will regenerate 5% MP every post, and will be able to continue using her magic even in places void of ethernanos, such as the Neutral Grounds.
