Mara's haunting aura is as much part of her as her nature feature or her glowing eyes. it's an important tool in her arsenal but it's also part of her self-expression and a key to understanding how she relates to the world and those in it. practically always manifested as a collection of white will-o-the-wisps that dance around her, their appearance doesn't always mean that they are in use - but by keeping them there, close and handy, she ensures a readiness to act. her haunting aura is used indiscriminately when it comes to humans, animals and other esk, and cause feelings of unease, restlessness, paranoia, anxiety, hallucinations ... all depending on what is the most effective towards that specific being. Mara always uses a combination of tactics that's particularly disturbing towards her target, and she seems to have an uncanny ability to know what will frighten someone just by looking at them.
likewise, her dreadful dreams enchantment is particularly apt at finding the right nightmare to wake the sleeper in a cold sweat and with their heart in their throat. though she previously had this enchantment bound to herself, she has since relegated it to her familiars, on which it appears in their eyes through a white glow with trailing wisps.
