| Character List: Holy Order: Paladin Lisa Knight Trista Priestess Glissandi Squire Mina Squire Mira
Holy Kingdom: King Torean the Third King Lionel the Mighty (deceased, first King and saviour of the human race)
Faction Unknown: Gaelus
Bestiary: Barbasts: Monkey like creatures inhabiting incredibly dense forests. Pack creatures that absolutely loathe magic and are immune to most forms of it. They possess tough hides and jump from trunk to trunk, their powerful digits allowing them to dig into the wood to increase their velocity when agitated. Very aggressive.
Combat is split up in three major sections: Physical ability: pretty obvious. Speed, strength, toughness, everything directly related to the body and it's natural ability. Magical ability: using magical energy to alter things (can vary from sending out a fireball, using scrying spells, healing spells, to very subtle enhancements. Magic is a very broad field and some people have an aptitude for a specific field and will be able to handle certain spells with more ease. Aura: mental control. It functions as a sixth sense. It does not find it's origin in magical ability, but rather is something every person is born with. It can be turned into a weapon through training. You can use it to transmit a an emotion or feeling to other people (the anger and threat of violence that Gaelus launched during the fight with the barbasts). An other application is that it can be used to detect other auras from a distance. It functions as a two sided ESP (extra sensory perception). While a useful tool to master, it requires significant self control and has no ability to influence things directly (it cannot interfere with anything physical, were magic can) Feel free to throw questions my way. I'll answer as able without giving spoilers.

| Are people born with an innate stronger or weaker aura, or is it something that anyone can train to be strong? Can other creatures possess aura, or is it uniquely human? |

| Any sentient is born with aura, and each aura is the same in strength. How strong or weak it is, comes down purely to training and discipline.
Elves, which will be encountered later on, tend to have stronger auras due to them living longer and having more time to train.
Having a well trained aura means you're less likely to panic. Say a monster is trying to eat you, and it heavily outclasses you in all areas, then having a well trained aura can let you run away rather than be frozen in fear. Some people have, however, due to their attitudes in life, a 'tougher' aura to say. But it is not a difference that cannot be overcome by training. |
