Aura

Aura:
The reflective surface will change its colour.
Note to self: Use the water for more clarity and better variability of the reading.

Water will remain calm inside the tank and won't change it's colour. Attention to the bubbles and plumes.

Duration of the ritual - lasts from thirty minutes to an hour or longer. The water inside the tank will remain full. Usually the scanning shows the aura's total state quite quickly.

During the course of the ritual, the target of the ritual might experience short glimpses of the brief phantom headaches, touches all oer the body, whispers, increasal or decreasal of heart's rate.

Considered to be moderately taxing, mostly to the ritualist. Subtanstially more difficult ritualist is also a target - maintaining the steady flow of the energy may prove tediuos under minor desorientation and unplesant effects.

By default:
Water and its colour reflects the aura's aspect. Amount of transparecy - strength of it.
The bubbles will reflect the energy that resides within the aura.
Plumes reflect the aura's balance.
