"Peacebringers can generate Luminous Aura to grant themselves incredible defensive capabilities."

Power Table

The Luminous Aura power set is the secondary set for Peacebringers. Peacebringers have three forms, human, Bright Nova, and White Dwarf. Powers may change or be disabled between forms, but only the base version of the power needs to be enhanced; the enhancement slotting will carry over to the version of the power in other forms. Toggle powers that are active but not available in a form will typically be suppressed, meaning that the power stops offering its benefit and costing endurance, but will immediately be active when switching back to a valid form. The following table shows the level and form at which each power is available:
