Aura

I ain't afraid of no ghosts

Aura is a defensive Spell. It shields the Hero against the cold draining effect that certain Undead can inflict on the Hero by being nearby. It first appears in Quest for Glory 4 (as a forced substitute to the Undead Amulet which is given to those without magic abilities and skills) and is available in Quest for Glory V as well.

Aura requires 8 MP to cast in Quest for Glory 4. In Quest for Glory 5, Aura's cost is increased to 10 MP.

Learning

Aura is learned in Quest for Glory 4 from Magda (Gypsy). Once the Hero rescues her son, Davy, she will invite him into her wagon and teach him the spell. Those without magic skills will be given the Undead Amulet instead.

A Magic User created in Quest for Glory 5 will also know Aura.

Function

When cast, the Hero will be protected by a warm glow. While the spell is active, he will be able to approach certain Undead without suffering any health drain from being close to them.

This spell works on the Wraith and on the Manes.

Special Uses

While there are no special uses for it, it's worth noting that Wraiths are very difficult to defeat without the spell or similar protection, as the Hero's health will be continually drained while in battle.

In Quest for Glory 5, this spell can be taught to Shakra.

Training

The spell is trained by being cast repeatedly.

Importing/Hybrid

If a Magic User imported into Quest for Glory 5 did not learn Aura in the previous game, he will be given the spell.

If a Hybrid character is created and is given Magic, he will be able to learn Aura from Magda, and will also begin Quest for Glory 5 with the knowledge of Aura.

Trivia

• A character without Magic will instead be given an Undead Amulet by Magda, but he will not carry it with him into Quest for Glory 5, leaving him vulnerable to the effects of the Manes.
