Yes, but consider why do you need Aura? To make midnight potion (for now). You can easily buy midnight potion for cheap at 2 cents.
That said, there might be more future use of Aura, and if that speculation is important to you, yes you should do some research.
Hopefully we can get a little clearer roadmap on what will be required to create the cards mentioned in the town hall, will help make decisions on wether to go research route I suppose
That is wishful thinking. Team have generated beautiful roadmaps in the past, and never been able to follow it successfully :)
Ha ha. Perhaps even an idea on Conflict repair kits then....
I think that announcement will be soon enough, as soon as next week or in the next two weeks
