Here the other day I started wondering about something........ What does the kirlian aura of a
Lictor look like?? What about Archons and dark angels? And other creatures? Do such
supernatural entities have any aura at all?
I had to do some research into Kirlian Auras for my game when my characters starting snapping Kirlian photos all over the place. What I found out was that a true Kirlian photo is a long-exposure process, where the object you're photoing is placed on a photo plate for minutes at a time. The Kirlian photography you find at fairs, which is point and click is a hoax. The chances of PC's getting a Lictor to sit on a photo plate for a time exposer are relatively rare, but I would image that the photo equipment is also a piece of the Illusion, and therefore could not reveal anything which would appear too unnatural or strange, unless it were an "enhanced" unit.
I'm sure that somewhere in the 1st ed there is mention of special camera equipment designed to pierce the illusion, some reference is made to kirlian photography, but I think it is seen as a dangerous experiment which draws the attention of the lictors
Cut the crap, there are some different versions you could chose, either (1) EVIL auras or (2) Neutral auras, so that they 'fit in' or (3) Lictors, EVIL auras Archons etc no Auras, they have auras, but you can't see them because of the same reason as: you can't see London if you are in Buckingham palace. It's simply to large and complex, and they might try to hide it.
