An aura is a permanent effect focused on your character that also affects nearby party members and minions. Auras reserve a portion of your mana pool. Some skills reserve a straight amount while others reserve a percentage of your max. The 9 original auras were added in patch 0.9.7, and one additional (Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Clarity". Please choose only one of the following ids:
ClarityRoyale - +(0-0.9) metres to radius, You and nearby Allies Regenerate (3-19.5) Mana per second (page)
Clarity - +(0-1.9) metres to radius, You and nearby Allies Regenerate (2.9-33) Mana per second (page)) was added in patch 0.9.8.
All allies within range of a player's aura skill will receive an aura buff. Passive and item mod bonuses can apply to the stats granted by auras, but these bonuses are determined by the passives and items of the receiver, not the player who is the source of the aura. For example, player A has passives for extra energy shield and is generating a Discipline aura. Player A will gain a bonus on the energy shield granted by the aura. But party member Player B who is standing inside the aura radius of Player A will only receive the base amount of energy shield granted by the aura unless Player B also has energy shield boosting passives.

Support Gem Combinations
Auras themselves do not do damage. They provide a buff which can add extra damage. As with curses, added damage supports can't be linked with auras successfully. These support gems will affect auras:
Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Blood Magic (Support Gem)" - This will cause linked auras to reserve health instead of mana.
Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Increased Area of Effect" - Increases the radius of the aura.
Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Reduced Mana" - Reduces the mana or health reserved to maintain the aura. This works for both flat amount reservation and percent based reservation.
Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Spell Totem" - Casts a totem which will maintain an aura. The cost to cast the totem is the mana that would be reserved multiplied by the Mana Cost Multiplier of the Totem support and any other linked support gems.
Passives
There are passive skill nodes that grant bonuses to auras.
Aura Area of Effect is a small passive skill that grants increased area of effect for auras.

Note that "Reduced Mana Reservation" is multiplicative for both % and flat mana auras and the bonus is multiplicative with the Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Reduced Mana" Support Gem, the latter occuring first.
The "Increased Buff Effects on You" passive cluster near the Witch starting area also increases the effect of auras.
Theoretical Maximum Reduction
If you get all of the Reduced Mana Reservation passives and use a level 20 Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Reduced Mana".
