The description could be a bit better, but the word Aura is a pretty big clue that it's an AoE around the caster.
And if I could trust the game to use correct definitions of terms, that wouldn't be a problem. I don't just read a spell name and automatically know what it does, maybe you can, but I'm not that good. Spells have descriptions for a reason.
This is probably the first and only spell I've encountered so far that is named "Aura" so I can't know what it means in the context of the game. What I DO know for a fact, is that so many other spells define "you" and "your" as the caster only or "self", so this description indicates exactly that. I'm actually trying to avoid making assumptions, and get hurt for it.
I've played many RPGs in the past, and I'm used to some level of vagueness, but not this. This is crossing a line. It's not a complete game-breaker but a serious annoyance for new players. Of course after I try all the spells, it won't matter, but i'm still new at this game, still figuring out how things work, and making decisions based on reading a description without having tried something.
But here's the thing, now that I know I can't trust anything the game says, I'm good. I have no expectations of anything, so I'll just have to try everything, period. The game and I are on the same page.
I don't know what makes you think that these small mistakes were deliberately made. .
I never said they were deliberate mistakes (I sure hope they weren't). It actually feels like one dev started composing the descriptions, did a decent job, then another one took over in the middle, threw some words together and left it.
