Every Aura Wielder can manipulate one or two kinds of type energies, depending on the typing of their spirit/bonded Pokemon. The type energies they can manipulate are referred to as “type affinities” or simply “affinities”.

Affinities, in turn, can be separated as “primary affinity” and “secondary affinity”. Despite the terminology’s implications, primary and secondary affinities have no overall effect on the Aura Wielder aside from indicating the order of which type energies the individual could manipulate. Primary affinities are the first type to manifest once the Aura Wielder has awakened their potential, followed by their secondary affinity (if they have one). 

By this logic, if an Aura Wielder first gains the ability to manipulate ice energy after awakening their potential, then developed the ability to manipulate water energy some time later... this wielder’s affinities would be Ice/Water. Ice being their primary affinity, and Water their secondary affinity.

For most Aura Wielders, they can only have two affinities at most naturally. In the nigh-improbable case that an Aura Wielder gains a tertiary Ghost affinity, for them to access this power, they must swap out one of their pre-existing affinities to “make room” for the Ghost affinity. Chances are, it is the primary affinity that will be swapped out in favour of the tertiary affinity while the secondary affinity is paired with it to form a new combination. The wielder can freely cycle between their primary and tertiary affinities at will. 

In addition, type affinities also grant the wielder special attributes as well as weaknesses related to the element it concerns. For instance, the fire affinity renders the Aura Wielder immune or supernaturally resistant to fire/extreme heat, but makes them vulnerable to water energy and may even develop a mild case of thalassophobia (fear of large bodies of water).

Another example would be a wielder with the electric affinity. They can harmlessly absorb electricity as long as it doesn’t go beyond their threshold, which can be stored for future usage. However, they must take care not to absorb too much at once and/or too quickly, or else they would severely injure themselves. Such wielders may even develop an odd fascination with thunderstorms.
