Dominion of Aura

The Dominion of Aura came into existence before the cosmos itself, for that which it governs was present in the great Primordials before they formed the Void and then filled it with Creation. The Dominion of Aura gifts those who masters it power over the raw emotions that all thinking creatures feel. It focuses on the manipulation of the part of the soul known as the Higher Ib, the seat of advanced feelings, will, and desires. It is among the many reasons why a large portion of beings revile the mighty Primal beings who claim godhood, as at high levels, the Dominion of Aura allows for emotions to be twisted according to the caprice of whoever wields the power of Aura.

It should be noted that anyone with a mastery of the Dominion of Aura may resist the effects of its powers. If one possesses a lower level of mastery than a power, they will likely only dull its effects, whilst an equal level will allow it to be fought off, and a higher level will usually allow a power to be more easily dismissed.

Auric Sense (Novice+)
The ability of the Auric Sense enables wielders of Aura to, at the most basic level, sense emotions. More advanced applications of the power, however, enables them to sense Bonds, desires and emotional ties that individuals possess, as well as determine an individual's general temperament, based upon their emotional signature.

Aura Command (Adept+)
The ability to command the Auras of other beings is the most well known and feared power of the Dominion of Aura. It allows for those who employ it to toy with the desires and emotions of other beings, altering their feelings and forging Bonds for them at will. One's Aura command is limited in range and scope equal to their Auric Senses. Additionally, each emotion an Aura wielder wishes to have influence over requires practice to master. One might be able to induce extreme levels of rage, yet only be capable of inciting the tiniest flicker of lust.

Auric Vigor (Novice+)
As one masters the powers of Aura, their own Aura becomes more resilient to being swayed and manipulated, and they gain the ability to conceal it from other Aura wielders. If they so choose, their Auras cannot be sensed by anyone with lesser mastery of the Dominion. Additionally, they are immune to any attempts to use Aura powers against them unless the one attempting to alter their Aura is of equal or greater mastery.

Auric Sustenance (Master+)
Godly wielders of Aura are able to convert the essence of the emotions they have mastered into energy which they can use to sustain themselves. When near sufficiently potent sources, they may draw upon the power of their chosen emotions to replenish their stamina and magical power. This does not allow them to increase their power beyond its normal limits, but merely to keep their reserves of strength full.
