Aura
A radial area drawn around a Token, moving with it.
Auras cover anything a creature projects around itself — a paladin’s aura of protection, a
dragon’s frightful presence, reach, or simply a colored ring marking threat range. Unlike an
AreaEffect, which is anchored to the map, an aura follows its token.
