Auras, what are they?

"It is also about auras, I am not sure if this is known by others, but I think that they are a special type of magic." Eldrian said, adding a bit later, "Maybe a unique aspect of magic."

"What do you mean?" Pelaros asked, the statement too vague.

"I think..." Eldrian paused, trying to get the right words. "Right, they are like abilities."

Raising an eyebrow in questioning, Pelaros pressed, "What do you mean?"

"I am not too sure what abilities are. But, as I understand it, they are like skills and spells. However, unlike spells and skills, they do not require knowledge to be used. Rather it is something to do with bloodlines... Or something like that."

Eldrian paused as he tried recalling what he had heard of abilities, which wasn't really much.
