All deities have the ability to exude an aura that commands respect. This aura can be turned on or off by choice, and those with advanced control can direct it to a small group or even a single person within a group.

Anyone hit with a deity's aura will be naturally disposed to give them respect. If the deity is not engaging with the person exposed to their aura, they will be immediately noticed by everyone who is exposed. If the deity is engaging in any form of conversation or interaction with an individual exposed to this aura, that individual will treat the deity with deference. They will regard all of the deity's words with more weight and will be more hesitant to interrupt demigod level deities and absolutely not interrupt higher level deities when they are speaking and pay greater attention to their words and meaning.

In addition to these basic effects, the aura can also instill additional mental effects in those who are exposed to it. An un-skilled deity will cause the emotions of others to mirror their own, however a deity with a moderate level of skill and control can control what kind of effect their aura will have. The following are some of the additional effects that can be seen.


Trust aura

The aura of trust is a tricky business as the effectiveness varies quite wildly based not only on the strength of the aura, but also on the actions of the god using this aura. Of particular note is anything the deity might have done to violate a subject's trust. More powerful auras can somewhat mitigate the effects of a violation of trust, but the range and scope of the negative effects of a trust violation on a demigod can render the trust aura completely unusable until that trust is restored. As such, special attention is necessary to go into the finer details of how the effects of an aura of trust will play out, especially when the trust gets stressed.
