Aura Points

Aura is the quiet currency of a moment - the glow that says you showed up for the thing instead of watching it. You bank it by doing the small unglamorous part, and you lose it by coasting, by reacting instead of replying, by letting the easy way win on your watch. The game is the read: each move on the table is a gain or a loss, and the skill is not just calling it but calling it fast, because the combo is where the multiplier lives.

The Pool and the Combo

• The pool - your glow, starts full, drains a little on every misread.
• The combo - clean reads chain a multiplier, one miss and it resets.
• The two fight each other: the combo wants speed, the pool wants accuracy.

Why It Is a Game

Because aura is not a number you add up at the end - it is a state you keep. You are not counting gains, you are holding the glow up under pressure. The moment the pool hits zero, the whole thing reads as coasting, and that is the only ending there is.
