Gloom Aura (aura, emotion, illusion, mental, occult) 60 feet. A lovelorn's presence instills unease and turns the air cold, dark, and stale. Creatures within the aura take a -1 circumstance penalty to saving throws made to resist emotion effects.

If the lovelorn makes a place home for a week or more, that location can become suffused with this magic even outside the lovelorn's aura, lasting until the lovelorn leaves or is destroyed.

Effect: Gloom Aura
