For the most part, Aura is used as a shield to protect and/or heal the characters from blows that would kill an ordinary person, although it also allows them to enhance their physical prowess. You need to focus on your Aura to manifest a shield, and even then it can be shattered by sufficient force. Aura also fuels Semblances, [[OnePersonOnePower special powers unique to each character]]. Once Aura is broken, Semblances can no longer be used, but the level of damage Aura has taken doesn't affect Semblances, suggesting Aura acts as more of a conduit for them than anything.

As per the Is This An Example? thread, this is misuse; what's happening in the show is Ki Manipulation not soul manipulation.

* This applies to every man, woman, faunus, and animal in ''Fanfic/RWBYSecondGeneration''. Just like in the main series, everyone has an aura that is a manifestation of their soul. The kicker? The manifestation is different for every individual.

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': All living things on Remnant have a soul, which produces Aura. Once unlocked, Aura can be used passively to [[HealingFactor heal injuries]], act as a [[SuperToughness defensive shield]], and protect against harsh weather conditions. It can be used actively as an [[KiManipulation offensive power]], to manifest a unique [[PersonalityPowers individualised superpower]] known as Semblance, and to enhance [[AppliedPhlebotinum Dust-based weapons and technology]]. A Semblance or even raw Aura can also be combined with Dust to give the user ElementalPowers. Every use of Aura drains it until it shatters upon running out. A person who has lost their Aura must wait for it to [[RegeneratingMana recharge]] before they can use it again. The [[AnimalisticAbomination Creatures of Grimm]] do not possess Aura, which is regarded as proof that they're neither alive nor have a soul.
