+'Aura' modifiers are semi-permanent, in that they do not have a set duration, but will expire if out of range of the 'source' of the aura.
+Note: The source is defined as an argument in New(), and if not specified, it is assumed the holder is the source,
+making it not expire ever, which is likely not what you want.
