I said, "one would assume". I never said that was explicitly allowed. It's just a natural assumption that it makes sense to use it, given the logic behind how the various modifiers work.

I don't think it's legal to use Area Effect + Melee, as ccwebs posted, though. Melee requires you to hit the subject with your body/weapon. Area Effect does not require this, which is undoubtedly one of the reasons it's a smaller limitation. If you're going to use Area Effect with Aura, it's my opinion as a GM that you should use Emanation instead of Melee, C, because the latter is a bit of a crock.
