Ljda
"Everything's a language. Numbers, movements, thoughts, voices... it all comes down to your perception. Expand your perception and you'd be surprised by what gets said."
"Ljda" was the name of a Viera, one of the Gifted. Her inherent ability was being able to captivate or charm others without the use of magic. To Auric, this manifests differently as a form of omnilingualism; he can inherently understand and communicate in whatever language he needs to. Outside of battle he easily appeals to others and speaks words that they want to hear. While not the same as Ldja's talents it comes close, and the name seems imprinted in his memory as it fits perfectly given its function.
In battle, Ldja manifests as him communicating to his target using a language created specifically for them, which drives them into performing any of their action against any target he wishes. The command is absolute; but he cannot force them to do something outside of their capacity, meaning he cannot force someone to use an ability if it's currently in cooldown (conversely, forcing them to use an available ability still counts as them using it therefore placing it in cooldown).

Champion's Cry
"I am Aurelian! There can be no defeat!"
Before his exile, many were waiting for the time when Auric would officially be declared an Aurelian Champion; an honorific bestowed a total of only three other times in their history. To be an Aurelian Champion, it wasn't enough that you had to have been of great dedication, skill and merit. You had to have qualities which drove others to fight on well beyond what they were ordinarily capable of. When he walks the battlefield, friend and foe alike turn their heads; whether in reverence or fear.
Champion's Cry bestows an effect on the entire battlefield. It is an ability which is context-sensitive, its effects varying with the situation at hand. The variations are listed below and when initiated remain in effect until either a new effect is bestowed or Auric is knocked out, making him a prime target (the effects are NOT cumulative). The effect that is bestowed is dependent on the conditions, each preceding quote taking priority over the next. They are best identified by the words he might cry out:
Condition: Any Ally's HP <10% AND Auric's HP > 50%
Effect: Entire Allied party's HP will not drop below 1 HP except for Auric. Any fallen party members will be resurrected with 1 HP.
"No retreat! No surrender!"
Condition: Party Average HP < 50%
Effect: Party receives half damage and receives effects of Regen.
"I rise, YOU fall!"
Condition: Party Average HP > 50% AND Enemy Party Average HP < 75%
Effect: Party Attack +50%, Enemy Ability Cooldown +1 post
"Come! Show me what passes for fury among your misbegotten kind!"
Condition: Number of Enemy Party's Passive Abilities > Number of Allied Party's Passive Abilities
Effect: Enemy passive abilities are rendered ineffective
"Form up!"
Condition: None (when none of the above apply)
Effect: Improves party's offensive attacks by a damage tier, enemy attacks that strike multiple party members are lowered by a damage tier.
