Aura is a projection of ones soul, a bright outline around a person. It was said that Aura could tell what a person's personality was just by the color. Red for outgoing, outspoken people and blue for strong leaders. For a while it was just a myth, until people began to see it. Certain people could not only see the Aura of others but could also manipulate it. Use it to control other's emotions and thoughts, creating a new race of humans. A very dangerous one. Shunned from humanity they were kicked out but now they want revenge.

“Who needs a heart when I can have all the magic in the world?” He’d said, before trading the pulsing red organ in his chest for a pulsing red flame in his hands.\

Turns out, he did. Because magic, like all things, can begin without a heart behind it, but it cannot persist that way. Gradually, he lost passion for his spells and his inks, lost his love for the unknown and the undiscovered. Gradually, none of it mattered at all anymore.

Not even the magic he’d traded his heart for.

Mom is so cheap.

My wand barely works, and it's a really old model. Half the time when I cast a spell, it misfires or does something random. Last night, I wanted to create a light orb so I could see and wouldn't stub my toe on my brother's broom (Of course HE gets his own broom) but my wand ended up making a small explosion in front of me. I almost got hurt! All my friends have the newest, most fancy wands, and I'm stuck with a model from 2017. It's all absurd. I just want a decent wand.
