Aura

At a quick glance, Aura are indistinguishable from the visual distortions one suffers at the onset of a migraine. They are a persistent 'cognitohazard': witnessing an Aura immediately and irreparably harms your psyche – a dire price for a quick glance.

To avoid the effects of an Aura, it is crucial for you to not observe it. Instinct or Insight of 3 is required to sense that something is off, and to avert your gaze in time. Witnessing an Aura immediately deteriorates your mind, decreasing either Knowledge or Insight by 1 each day thereafter.
