+[[auras|Auras]] are an ability that a creature can have where they are surrounded by some sort of force or effect. The most common auras seen in the game are heat or chill auras, which come baked in on many creatures, but there are many others that use the mechanic.
-Auras all have a value displayed like Heat (6). This value is how many tiles are affected by the aura per turn. The tiles can either be adjacent to the creature with the aura, or adjacent to another affected tile if the value is greater than 8 (which is all surrounding tiles.)
+Auras all have a value displayed like Dread (6). For most auras this value is roughly how many tiles are affected per turn. The affected tiles are always near the creature with the aura: auras with a value below 10 stay within one tile of it, and stronger auras reach up to two tiles away. The same tile can be hit multiple times by the same aura. Some auras generate clouds. If a cloud is generated on a tile that already has an identical cloud, it has a small chance to increase the cloud strength level. Auras that generate clouds can not stack higher than strength level 2.
