Conditions contributing to aura colors and their corresponding effects are in the chart below.
Shades are either pale, bright, or lacking. A pale aura is a vampiric being, a lacking aura is a completely dead body, and a bright shaded aura is everything else.
If Auspex 2 has been used to read the aura, the following may be used to determine how much the vampire is capable of detecting.
1 success: The vampire can tell if the aura is pale or bright, meaning they can tell if the target is a vampire or not.
2 successes: The predominant color can be distinguished.
3 successes: Patterns can be recognized.
4 successes: Shifts in color or pattern can be detected.
5 successes: All aspects of the aura can be read.
