A psionic creature’s ability to project belief and intent into the world often results in the creation of a psionic aura. Each psionic aura is directly connected to a particular psionic node, which exist as a knot of collective belief about a particular concept. It in by tapping into that power of shared belief which gives psionic auras their power. The aura related to a node always expresses some conceptual aspect of that node.
Unless otherwise noted, a psionic aura affects creatures within 30 feet who have line of effect to you, including yourself. A beneficial psionic aura affects you and your allies, while a harmful psionic aura affects only your enemies. Manifesting a psionic aura is a swift action, and it remains in effect until you dismiss it, become unconscious, or die, even if you are otherwise unable to act.
The benefits of multiple psionic auras do not stack, even if the bonus is untyped.
