Didn't they retcon the aura in the way that it now needs to be consciously activated to prevent damage to explain why Adam was able to kill Sienna (a character who pretty much had to have an activated aura thanks to her position)...

Aura was never retconned, it's just never been explained in full by RT, and never will be.

Aura isn't just activated like a light switch on/off, it's complicated like a computer, it can be channeled for offense or defense or squandered by various frivolous uses.
