.....Actually, wait. Have we seen Amber's Aura? I wouldn't count the "Fire Mask" she showed. Since it was, well, fire, not Aura.

As for Pyrrha coming back....no. Very hell no. She was flash-burned from the inside out, and that was after she died from asphyxiation due to an arrow piercing her lungs and likely her spine. She's deader than even Roman and Penny combined.

In fact, Miles and Kerry outright stated in interviews that the reason they went for that "flash of light with no body left remaining" was to make it obvious that she really is dead. Obviously they failed in this regard, but still.

Bringing her back would be bullshit and completely invalidate the weight of her death. It'd ruin the sense of threat and danger since "people can be revived, so who cares?". And overall just make her death pointless.

If she comes back, it'd be as a spirit (and just a spirit), or via flashbacks and videos. No other way is reasonable and believable.
