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="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.
Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Generosity" - Increases the effect of your auras on allies (including minions) but prevents them from affecting you.
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.
Theoretical Maximum Reduction
The largest reduction in Mana Reservation you can achieve is 46%. This requires the unique

and acquiring the following passive nodes.
- The 6%, 4%, and 4% Reduced Mana Reservation passives Northwest of the Templar start.
- The 4% Reduced Mana Reservation passive just North and a little East of the Scion start.
- The 8% and 4% Reduced Mana Reservation passives East of the Scion start and North of the Ranger start.
- The 4% Reduced Mana Reservation passive North of the Shadow start.
- The 4% Reduced Mana Reservation passive Southwest of Marauder and Duelist starts.
- The 8% Reduced Mana Reservation passive from Alpha's Howl.
Subtracting the 46% reduction leaves 54% of the original Conserved value. This can be further reduced by using a level 20 Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Reduced Mana" support gem.
The 54% multiplied by the 71% Mana multiplier leaves 38.34% of the original Conserved value.
Ex. Grace conserves 60% of your Total Mana. With the above it would now conserve only 23.004%. (60% x 38.34%)
