Before someone starts the "Why didn't her Aura protect her?" discussion here too:

Since the wires weren't foreign objects, but part of her own weapon, the usual behavior may not apply. The Aura "shield" protects the user from every kind of external force - but it seems to ignore itself. What this means is while it stops everything not infused with the exact same Aura, it lets everything that IS infused with said Aura through. which makes sense as you wouldn't be able to touch yourself and your equipment otherwise (and thinking it further it could disrupt/tear apart your entire body). If this applies, the most dangerous weapon to an Aura user is his own, as the shield wouln't stop it. Since movement and other properties tend to be manipulated using Aura as well, that isn't such a big deal; but when your own control is overpowered, it becomes lethally dangerous - as seen with Penny.

Long story short: The wires were infused with her own Aura and thus the shield didn't notice them as a threat.
