Aura referred to a magic field radiating from one's body. As they would display one's identity[1] and emotional state,[2] auras were only visible to those with empathetic abilities.[3]
History[]
Members of the Deathwok Clan were innately able to sense auras and primarily used this for hunting.[4] Lorne, instead, used this ability to read feelings and destiny listening to others sing, as he would often do so in the Caritas karaoke bar.[3] Sundrop, as a fairy, also had these empathetic abilities and described that the "negative energy" of anger turned an aura "blood red."[2]
Exceptionally, some humans were also capable of sensing auras. The witch Tara Maclay discovered that something was wrong with Buffy Summers' body, switched with Faith Lehane, describing: "A person's energy has a flow, a unity. Buffy's was fragmented; it grated, like something forced in where it doesn't belong."[1] Another example was the psychic Agnes Bellfleur, who once described Lorne's aura as having a "big flashing neon warning light."[5]
Auras were said to be potentially poisonous; in the case of the Harbingers of Death, their aura of evil rendered surrounding ground and living beings sterile.[6]
Notably, amethyst crystals were used for cleansing one's aura,[7] and the Calendula marigold genus caused the aura of whoever ingested its oil to be unreadable.[8]
