The aura is the power imbued within oneself.
From the blood to the bones and the flesh.
While mana is the spirit and the mind, the aura is the body itself. Strength and determination.
Mana represents the brain and rationality.
The aura represents the heart and the will.
Only those who master the will are capable of seeing the truth of the burning blood.

Ethan had already lost track of time reading that book.
Simple, familiar concepts, over a hundred pages devoted solely to them.
It was different from other abilities he had studied, without a doubt, but not in a bad way.
The Burning Blood Body Enhancement Skill was, generally speaking, simple.
Too simple.
The foundation of its mastery was understanding one's own will and using it to fill the blood vessels with aura, bringing the blood itself to a boil.
A simplified explanation, certainly, but good enough.
Ethan set the book down, rose from his seat, and walked out to the garden of his mansion.
