Aura
Auras are permanent effects that benefit your character and extend their benefits to nearby party members and minions. Auras reserve a portion of your Mana pool. All Auras, with the exception of Clarity, reserve a percentage of your Maximum Mana pool.
All allies within range of a player's aura skill will receive the Aura's 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, extra defenses or utility. 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="Spell Totem" - Casts a totem which will maintain the 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.
Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Generosity" - Increases the effect of the auras on allies (including minions) but prevents them from affecting the player.
Note! Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Reduced Mana" - does not affect mana/health reservation.
Passive skills
There are passive skills that grant aura bonuses.
Area of effect radius for auras
These passive skills grant increased area of effect radius for auras.
Effectiveness of auras
These passive skills grant increased effect magnitude for auras.
Calculation Mechanics
The calculation to determine the reservation cost of an aura is ceiling(ceiling(floor(base Mana Reserved * Mana Multiplier) * (100% - less Mana Reserved)) * (100% - reduced Mana Reserved))
.
With equipment and passives available as of version 1.3, each category includes the following.
- Mana Multiplier: Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Reduced Mana" or any other Support Gem.
- Less Mana Reserved: Mortal Conviction.
- Reduced Mana Reserved: All passive nodes which provide "reduced Mana Reserved", Alpha's HowlAlpha's Howl

Examples of this calculation are as follows.
Level 8 Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Reduced Mana", 4% reduced Mana Reserved, and Discipline:
ceiling(floor(60%*83%)*(100%-4%)) = ceiling(floor(49.8%)*96%) = ceiling(49%*96%) = ceiling(47.04%) = 48%
