Aura

For millenia, Mana has been known as nothing but the component for magic. Every time Heaven and Hell fought on Earth, nine champions would arise from humanity to stand against them, in order to protect the planet. Each one had an special ease with each of the eight basic elements, but one has always been a mistery. Through ages of study, they have finally discovered the true power of the ninth chosen: the power not to manipulate manifastations of Mana, but Mana itself. This happens when the being is born with ease on all eight elements - not as powerful in a single element as one specialized in it is, but merging is where their power lies.

Controling Mana means cutting oneself from the limitations of the elements. It means to be able to weave the fabric of existence itself. It means to manipulate the natural energy that every living being possesses. For that, this "ninth element" was named Aura, the energy of creation and destruction.

Aura represents Balance. It is the element of creation and destruction, order and chaos. It is the dance of the opposite elements, merging and repulsing each other, creating a power like none other. This gives the wielder the power to create things from pure Mana, ranging from weapons to shields, as well as to dismantle things with the same power. Although most believe it is an immense force for only one person to wield, making them the most frightful opponents, it is not true. It is a fact that Aura has the greatest potential among the elements, but the power required to control it is so enormous that the wielder is generally as powerful as any of another element wielder.

It has also been noticed that Aura wielders have increased reflexes, possibly due other hidden powers of Aura. The balance created by the eight elements is said not to affect only matter and energy, but existence itself. The wielders have an special connection to the dimension of Time, making them able to see, for a short time, few seconds ahead of their time, while others state the wielders can see these seconds ahead constantly. The truth is, no one really knows.

The Chosen of Aura is the key to bring together the other chosen ones' powers to lock Heaven and Hell away from Earth in order to end the wars.
