Battle Aura

Battle Aura (闘気, Tōki, lit. "Fighting Spirit") is a technique used to amplify physical capabilities of the individual to the extreme.

Overview[]

Battle Aura, in essence, is a form of Mana manipulation, but different from the flashy effects of Magic invocation as it is invisible to the naked eye. It is specifically used as a technique to explosively boost physical power and physical defence. It involves coating the whole body or a specific body part in Mana and forming a mantle of dense energy.

It does not have a specific training regime, an individual will naturally come to understand how to wear Touki the more they train their body. In the case with Rudeus, he is unable to manifest Touki due to the effect of the Laplace factor he inherited. This is attributed to the Laplace factor as Laplace was also unable to use Touki, but some, such as Sylphy, are able to.

All swordsmen and fighters at or above Saint-class are able to wear Battle Aura. Some use it subconsciously as to why they cannot explain their impermanent outbursts of strength during battle.

Battle Aura is typically used by all swordsmen. Wearing Battle Aura is woven into the art of swordsmanship, it worked to improve one's physical prowess and strengthening the blade of the sword itself. Swordsmen whose Battle Aura has been fully developed are able to cleave boulders in a single stroke, or unleash a flash of the blade to strike a distant foe.

Other than swordsmen, Warriors, Knights, and martial arts practitioners also wear Battle Aura to enhance their weapons' durability and physical attack.

Defense[]

Instinctively, swordsmen and fighters sheathe themselves in a protective veil of Battle Aura around the user's body or a specific body part. When mastered, the veil of Battle Aura can become impenetrable to most physical attacks.
It also greatly elevates one's sense of the battlefield.
