Eventually...

effect "DamageModifer" from aura "Enraged"
14:23:05.239 - ReplicatedStorage.Resources.Libraries.AuraAgent:312: attempt to index local 'effectDefinition' (a nil value)

Lazy = true in the effect definition

Such as AnimationTracks

If ClientOnly is true, the aura will never be able to be applied from the server. If attempted, create a warning. If ClientOnly and Replicated are both true, create a warning.

ServerOnly will be the opposite case for server-only auras.

If ClientOnly is true in an effect, that effect will only run on the client.
If ServerOnly is true, the effect only runs on the server.

These should not create warnings if they attempt to run in the wrong place, instead just fail silently.

LocalPlayerOnly in effects to only run them on the local player or a local player object.

• Rename "Name" to "Alias", and "Id" to "Name"
• Change API to comply with https://roblox.github.io/lua-style-guide/
• Remove effect Lazy, -- ShouldApply should stand on its own. Current Lazy should be the default behavior.
• Remove tick rate update behavior. Effects should never reify when nothing changes. Only decrease time left.
• Effect method names shoudl be renamed to Construct, Destruct, and Reduce.
• Flip custom name behavior around, making custom default with the ability to share the same scope.

This should probably instead be defined by the developer in the Config or Display sections

"Config" is for Aura-specific configuration that is not a Param (not used in an Effect) and not a display option.

Use cases:

• Aura persists through death
• Visible (remove from Status)
• Remove on death (as in instantly, respawn would be too late)

We need to track where an Aura originated from to decide if the client has authority to remove it when it expires or not.

Potentially Status.Origination = Remote | Local

reducer -> apply

e.g. a single player or a team

Agent:GetReducerReturn(effectName: string)
Agent:GetLastReducedValue(effectName: string)
Agent:GetReduced(effectName: string)
Agent:GetValue(effectName: string)
Agent:GetEffectValue(effectName: string)

Allow the client to request an Aura to be cancelled

Transfer auras from one agent to another.

Also Agent:CopyAuras(agent, filter?)

Add filter to Agent:Snapshot(filter?), and transfer/copy with the snapshot feature internally

Requires #8

Give a fun and informative introduction to Aurora

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/remote-event-call-order/182537/10?u=evaera

• Explore Aura handles rather than string literals
• Explore partitioning on agents

This is in an effort to reduce naming collisions and make Aurora more versatile
