An aura is a continuous effect that impacts units within a specific area around its source. These effects typically provide buffs to allies or inflict damage/debuffs to enemies within their radius.

Key Characteristics:

  • Affects multiple targets simultaneously
  • Continues over time while targets remain in range
  • Can be beneficial (healing, shields) or harmful (damage, slows)
  • Usually centered around a champion or item
