Please fix this so people actually care about this fate tree and these hiddens again, because their lore and ic is really good, but the state of the aura is outweighing the interest of the ic. The barrier aura is not worth having.

Wrong. People shouldn't be interested in it. People shouldn't pursue it. People shouldn't look at trees and pursue them ICly based on how meta-defining it is.

That's how you end up with 15 people pursuing Riftmancy, and that's not even the strongest there is.

In other words, don't look at how difficult it is to pursue the aura but how it fits for a character to have.

Also, regarding your examples.

Starlight Overdrive: You're literally using a limited token that you only have two of max. Those are valuable, and therefore the things you use them on are supposed to be somewhat stronger.

Magma Aura: It's only 2 DR less, yes. The difference is surviving 1 more hit, maybe. Just because you find a mentor doesn't mean you should be granted a major difference from people who are sticking to a different aesthetic.
