Aura (オーラ, Ōra?) is both a spell and an ability that provides various beneficial effects unique to each game it appears in.

Appearances Edit

Final Fantasy II Edit

Aura is a Black Magic spell that adds monster types to physical attacks depending on its level. Any character can learn Aura by the use of Aura Tome (Aura Scroll in Origins).

Aura adds the following effects per success:

1. Extra damage vs. Flying
2. Extra damage vs. Aquatic
3. Extra damage vs. Earth
4. Extra damage vs. Giants
5. Extra damage vs. Spellcasters
6. Extra damage vs. Dragon
7. Extra damage vs. Werebeasts
8. Extra damage vs. Undead

The spell is bugged in the NES version, as it does not grant its extra bonus at level 8.

Final Fantasy III Edit

Aura is Bahamut's "White" effect and grants the party Haste. A similar effect can be gained by singing the Minuet song with the Loki Harp equipped.

Final Fantasy VIII Edit

Aura grants the Aura status, which increases the chance of the affected character getting a Limit Break and allows them to get Limit Breaks outside of being in HP Critical health. Being under the effects of Aura boosts the character's Crisis Level, enhancing their Limit Breaks as well. Its effect lasts 6.6 seconds. The affected character is shrouded in yellow hues. Aura also cures the negative status Curse.

Used as junctioning magic, Aura will highly increase the Luck stat and can be junctioned to status defense to make a character immune to Curse. Aura is a very rare magic: the only enemy to carry Aura for drawing is Seifer. Otherwise, Aura must be refined from items, or drawn from draw points, such as on the Island Closest to Heaven and Island Closest to Hell.

Aura can be used on or by opponents, which causes their strength to temporarily increase and may allow them to use new abilities. For example, Aura allows the aerial monster Thrustaevis to use its Wind Blast attack, the mechanical monster GIM52A to use the Blue Magic Ray-Bomb and allows Raijin to use Raijin Special.

Casting Aura in battle increases compatibility with Carbuncle by 1, and with Cerberus by 0.2, but lowers compatibility with Eden by 0.2.

Final Fantasy IX Edit

Aura is Amarant's Flair ability that grants Regen and Auto-Life. It can be learned by equipping the Scissor Fangs or Duel Claws. It takes 25 AP to learn and 12 MP to cast. When Amarant is in Trance, Flair changes into Elan and all Flair skills affect all targets in a group, either enemies or allies.

Final Fantasy XI Edit

Embrava is a white magic and enhancing magic aligned with the light element exclusive to Scholars of level 5 and higher under the effect of Tabula Rasa. The spell takes 20% of one's maximum MP to cast, targets a single player, and lasts for 5 minutes, although Strategems are commonly used to reduce this cost, extend this duration, and target an entire party at a time.

While the precise magnitude of the effect is dependent on the Scholar's Enhancing Magic skill, at the present time the effect gives a substantial Haste, Regen, and Regain effects. Because this effect is its own separate status, it stacks with the Haste and Regen spells.

Etymology Edit

[view · edit · purge]In parapsychology and many forms of spiritual practice, an aura is a field of subtle, luminous radiation surrounding a person or object (like the halo or aureola in religious art). The depiction of such an aura often connotes a person of particular power or holiness.
