Aara Seeker Image

Aara seekers are special beings who can feel the aura of other beings. This is normally a minor feeling or shimmer in the air however it can take more visible and extravagant forms in some beings. If one dedicates time to learning to read these auras they can become very adept at reading emotions and intentions of others, some see this abilities as a form of future sight. However it is not future sight but some dedicated users can make educated guesses at the future of some with large auras. One cannot learn these abilities but rather they are born in family lines and may skip many generations just to resurface later. These abilities are rare because of this and it is uncommon to find one with this ability and thus some are thought to be witches or other forms of dark magicians.
