Aura

Aura (オーラ) is a particular energy released by living beings, usually leaking from their bodies in varying amounts.

Properties
Aura is a form of spiritual matter that exerts physical pressure on people and objects. It is naturally released by all living beings without any special actions, but to use it to its fullest extent, training is required. During combat, aura can be used to enhance one's physical abilities, such as power, speed, and durability, all with varying results depending on the quality and amount of aura within a person, in addition to their proficiency in controlling it. Aura can also be used to increase the performance of equipped gear beyond normal. In practice, this results in superhuman feats without the aid of Magic or Skills.

Fighting Spirit is a fundamental component of Battlewill, a school of Arts that creates powerful physical attacks and effects that resemble magic. The most adept users can infuse their fighting spirit inside their opponents, damaging them from within, and even crippling them, depending on the amount. It can act as magicule-dispelling waves that nullify the effects of Potions and hinder any regenerative abilities that similarly operate on magicules, for spiritual life-forms who are beings of pure energy, this is especially dangerous for them as they are at risk of their very constitution falling apart. When fighting spirit is combined with magicules, techniques encompassing both physical and magical phenomenon are born, known as Mystic-Arts.

By observing the potency of a creature's aura, their strength or danger level can be inferred to an extent. Many security systems within human settlements are built to react to specific auras, usually ones associated with monsters. This suggests there are certain qualities not all auras share and can be attributed to certain groups of creatures or individuals.
