In our world the phenomenon called aura (yes i believe in some metaphysical stuff. so sue me.) is the electromagnetic field emitted by the human body, perhaps a combination of the two factors is what generate an aura in RWBY? A sufficiently advanced neural net is required (such as an organic brain) to generate an aura, while the aura itself is a projection of the energy generated by that neural net. As connections in the brain strengthen when used, it's possible one could expand their aura reserves by regularly excercising it, which would in theory also lead to hunters being generally more intelligent than other humans as the connections in the brain that lead allow for higher thought are vastly stronger than those in normal humans.
