Auras are buffs and debuffs that spread their effects on allies or enemies within a range around an affected creature. This mechanic is widely used in different places across the game.
Mechanics
Being a subset of buff/debuff system, auras inherit all characteristics from them and are affected by buff modifiers. They can be temporary or permanent, positive or negative, and so on.
Sources of auras:
- skill gems
- ascendancy passives
- monster skills and modifiers
- elemental proliferation
- items, such as

Player auras
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" - 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 non-curse auras on allies (including minions) but prevents them from affecting the player.
Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Enlighten" - Reduces the mana reserved by the aura.
Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Empower" - Adds levels to supported auras.
Note that Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Reduced Mana" does not affect reservation.

Aura skill gems
Regular auras come from aura skill gems and reserve a percentage of the player's mana pool, with the exception of Clarity, which reserves a flat amount. There are currently {{#ask: Has item class::Active Skill Gems Has gem tags::Aura Has gem tags difference::Vaal Has gem tags difference::Totem|format=count}} aura skills that grant a permanent effect: {{#ask:

Curse auras
With the use of the Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Blasphemy" support gem, any curse gem may be converted into an aura. Curse auras are affected by both curse and aura radius increases. Most aura effect increases specify that they only apply to non-curse auras. They will have no effect on curse auras.
Curses applied via Blasphemy count towards the active curse limit.
