The aura is the power imbued within oneself.
From the blood to the bones and the flesh.
While mana is the spirit and the mind, the aura is the body itself. Strength and determination.
Mana represents the brain and rationality.
The aura represents the heart and the will.
Only those who master the will are capable of seeing the truth of the burning blood.

Of course, that was a rather simplified explanation, but it was good enough.
