You may have to exit and reopen power auras for it to show up properly. You can click the Test Button to see how it will look when active.
Way back when I was learning how to Frost DK, I had a really difficult time getting used to the default game auras. You had one giant icy blue glowy thing, and...some other giant icy blue glowy things.
And what made it even worse was that the proc names didn't have anything to do with the abilities they were supposed to indicate. Killing Machine gave the buff Killing Machine, which meant to Obliterate, while Rime gave the buff Freezing Fog, which meant to Howling Blast.
Considering I'd never played Frost at all before, these were way too many new names to remember all at once. So I designed some power auras that screamed at me in giant letters which ability I was supposed to use. A little training-wheels, but it worked for me, and that's what counts, right?
However, some time into Cataclysm my auras starting completely freaking the hell out. (click for larger version)
I don't know what happened (I assume some patch incompatibility) but my beloved text auras started growing in size every time they activated. So at first, the text would be fine. The next time, slightly bigger. The next, even bigger, and so on, until they were literally covering my entire screen.
I tried changing the fonts, but that didn't work either.
In the end, I had to scrap the text auras and resort to some more conventional choices - a big "SLOW" to indicate it was time to Howling Blast (because in my mind, Howling Blast = Chilblains, thus "slow"), and a simple timer on the other auras for my Obliterate alert.
Of course, the ironic part is that since Power Auras was incredibly late in updating after patch 5.0.4, I've since switched to Weak Auras. There's some things I like, some things I don't (less auras available to choose from, and inferior large-text options in WA are both BIG negatives, in my book), but I doubt I'll go back to PA now. Even if they DID fix the text aura glitch.
Haha. I don't know but for some reason this just makes me laugh. The fact that there is a addon bug that makes the text freak out and slowly take over your screen. I am looking at the one screenshot here that says "OBLITERATE OR..." and I'm thinking "OBLITERATE OR DIE" "OBLITERATE OR ELSE" "OBLITERATE OR YOU'RE GONNA BE SORRY" "OBLITERATE OR BE OBLITERATED" I know nothing of power auras or if you type in what you want to say, but I'd totally do something like that. Oh I just glanced back at the screenshot and see that in fact you can type stuff in, you have the addon up right there. AND it says obliterate or frost strike. Well, don't I feel silly now. >_>
Power Auras is an incredibly powerful tool, but it can be daunting to new users! Everybody I've talked to about it has expressed how difficult they found it to make something useful out of the myriad options, sliders, menus, etc. This guide is centred around using some basic ideas and examples as a way of introduction to using and creating with Power Auras. This process will talk you through the challenges of making a good Aura and arm you for creating your own. What it will not do is show every feature and combination - that would take forever! The guide is split into the following sections:
After installing Power Auras Classic and enabling it in WoW , log in and type /powa - this will open the main Power Auras menu, which allows you to control the activation of Auras, to debug them, to manage and delete them and to enable/disable them. To edit an Aura, you can right click on its icon to show the edit pane. The Aura's effect will also be shown on your main UI (and highlighted in green). There are also buttons for importing or exporting auras, which I will make use of now.
So what I want to do for my fire mage is setup Power Auras to show different auras based on crit's of a certain value. I thought there was a way to do this in conjunction with Parrot or MSBT? Any thoughts and is this possible?
Well thanks for looking into it Stoove. That's way beyond my abilities too :) If anyone knows of an addon or an easy way to do this (stress on easy) let me know. On a side note I am using Power auras to track Holy Power at 3 stacks now and it gives me both a visual animated warning and a thunderclap audio cue. Loving it!
WeakAuras is a powerful and flexible framework that allows the display of highly customizable graphics on World of Warcraft's user interface to indicate buffs, debuffs, and other relevant information. This addon was created to be a lightweight replacement for Power Auras but has since introduced more functionalities while remaining efficient and easy to use.
The power to manipulate the subtle, luminous radiation that surrounds a person or object. Variation of Energy Manipulation, Field Manipulation and Life-Force Manipulation. Spiritual counterpart of Chi Manipulation. Related to Chakra Point Manipulation.
Much like the power Life-Force Manipulation, the user can manipulate this kind of energy in various ways. However, this power deals with the strength of their spiritual essence instead of the entire universe. Aura is the energy formed from one's achievement of spiritual power through extreme mental focus and strong emotions. Users of this power can increase their natural abilities, attract and repel another person's aura, sense the aura, and project it. Different types of auras are located in various parts of the physical body, such as the forehead, spine, throat, heart, and stomach. The power of aura also changes with one's mood.
In the philosophy of the seven auras/chakras shared by Hinduism and Buddhism, each color corresponds to seven elements(see pg. 68). In some cases, the user(s) manipulates their aura to the point where it takes on the characteristics and properties of said elements.
Aura Technologies LLC,* Raleigh, North Carolina, was awarded a $49,997,256 hybrid (cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price) contract to design, develop, test and field artificial intelligence for tactical power, operations and advanced manufacturing technologies. Bids were solicited via the internet with one received. Work locations and funding will be determined with each order, with an estimated completion date of March 11, 2026.

Despite the undecided status of the state counter-complaint, the magistrate properly recommended dismissal of Vintage's claim that Aura's state lawsuit against Vintage constituted an antitrust violation under 2 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. 2. Pursuant to 2 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. 2, monopolization, attempts to monopolize, and combinations or conspiracies to monopolize interstate or foreign trade are condemned. This condemnation of monopolizing clearly extends to actual monopolies, and also is applicable to unilateral acts by a single actor. Monopolies are condemned under 2 where a business acquires or maintains monopoly power through competitively unreasonable practices. If unreasonable practices are not utilized, the monopoly is not violative of 2.
The elements of monopolization were clarified in United States v. Grinnell, 384 U.S. 563, 86 S. Ct. 1698, 16 L. Ed. 2d 778 (1966). As set forth in Grinnell, the elements of monopolization are: (1) the possession of monopoly power in the relevant market, and (2) the willful acquisition or maintenance of that power as distinguished from growth or development as a consequence of a superior product, business acumen, or historic accident. 384 U.S. at 570-71, 86 S. Ct. at 1703-04. See also Potters Medical Center v. City Hospital Ass'n, 800 F.2d 568, 574 (6th Cir. 1986). Thus, there are three items which must be established in a 2 case. First, the relevant market must be defined. Second, consideration must be given to whether the alleged monopolizer has monopoly power. Finally, it must be determined whether monopoly power was willfully acquired or maintained. W. Holmes, Antitrust Law Handbook 2.03 (1987).
The magistrate's report and recommendation fails to address the two other allegedly anticompetitive practices in which Vintage claims Aura engaged. As stated earlier, these practices are: (1) the disparaging of Vintage's products and services; and (2) the purchase of Wine Consultants. However, Vintage's complaint merely sets forth conclusory allegations in support of these claims. These allegations give no indication of who disparaged Vintage or how this was supposedly accomplished. There is also no indication of how Aura's acquisition of Wine Consultants constituted willful acquisition or maintenance of monopoly power. Rather, Vintage assumes that merely showing an increase in Aura's market share in Michigan is sufficient to demonstrate an antitrust violation.
It is well-established that the possession of monopoly power in itself is not illegal. United States v. Griffith, 334 U.S. 100, 107 and n. 10, 68 S. Ct. 941, 945-46 and n. 10, 92 L. Ed. 1236 (1948). Vintage must demonstrate willfulness on Aura's part or its antitrust claims fail. Such willfulness is not demonstrated by the mere allegation that Aura's percentage of a vaguely defined market increased. See Grinnell, supra (monopoly power, including that achieved through acquisition, must be consciously acquired). Vintage's argument that Aura *729 engaged in anticompetitive behavior based on Aura's increase in Michigan market share begs the question in two ways. First, it assumes that the relevant geographic market is Michigan. Second, it assumes that wine promotion services is the relevant product market. These assumptions fail to take into account Supreme Court cases establishing that the "interchangeability in use" with alternative products must be considered when establishing the relevant market, as must the "cross-elasticity of demand." United States v. E.I. duPont de Nemours & Co., 351 U.S. 377, 394-95, 76 S. Ct. 994, 1006-07, 100 L. Ed. 1264 (1956); Brown Shoe Co. v. United States, 370 U.S. 294, 325, 82 S. Ct. 1502, 1523-24, 8 L. Ed. 2d 510 (1962). That is, the relevant market must take into account whether there are geographic or product substitutes for Michigan wine promotion services.[3] As the complaint does not consider such substitutes, Vintage has not properly defined the relevant market. Notably, at hearing, Vintage admitted that its definition of the relevant market was lacking.
