'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is [[Marle]]'s 1st-level [[Tech]] and the first healing Tech of the game, {{CT}}. Aura heals approximately 50 [[Hit Point]]s and can be used both in battle and outside of battle, through the menu. While effective to cast it alone, it also pairs with [[Crono]]'s [[Cyclone]] Tech to perform [[Aura Whirl]]. The earliest Marle learns Aura is before viewing the [[Telepod]] demonstration in [[Leene Square]] by battling [[Amanita]] and [[Imp]]s in [[Guardia Forest]].

Marle holds her arms out and an halo of blue light appears around her, then purple sparkles appear around the character whom the Tech was cast on. A high-pitched sound plays and the targeted character spins and their [[Hit Point]]s heal.

Before Marle learns [[Ice]] [[Magic]] from [[Spekkio]], her Aura tech proves useful for quickly healing a single party member who is damaged in battle. Since Marle is a mandatory party member when the party travels to the [[Future]] through the [[Gate]] in Guardia Forest, she is the only character able to heal through the use of Techs at this time, which can save [[Gold]] and [[Potion]]s. Also, since Marle's physical attacks are relatively weak, it works well for her to cast this, while Crono and [[Lucca]] focus on using [[Fire Whirl]] to eliminate crowds of enemies. Also, while fighting the [[R-Series|R-Series robots]] in [[Derelict Factory]], Marle can focus on using Aura, while Crono uses Cyclone or [[Wind Slash]] to damage these opponents.
