Sand Aura is a earth spell with a primarily defensive purpose. At will, the caster is able to surround herself in a whirlwind of rushing sand, hovering a few inches above the surface of her skin, which travels at such speed it violently scrapes against anything that would touch her. The speed and tenacity with which the sand travels makes it virtually impossible to strike through this aura with anything but a swift thrust from a sturdy sword. Slashes, lightweight projectiles, and punches will likely rebound or deflect before they can hit the user's skin.
This aura lasts approximately one to three seconds, and because of the strain it imposes on one's magic strength, this can normally only be manifested once per minute. With one level in Magic Power, it can instead be used once every 20 seconds. With two levels in Magic Power, the caster only needs to wait a few seconds between uses. For the purpose of Sand Aura, a Gerudo or anyone with a Gerudo Affinity is treated as though she has one more level in Magic Power than she actually does.
Trivia
- Sand Aura is one of few spells supported by Magic Power that doesn't have a purely offensive intent.
- The Sand Aura treasure is an original creation by one of Hyrule Castle's members.
