We've already seen something similar with Trifa's webs in V5. Blake knew she was walking into a trap (since she brought Sun with her) so she almost definitely had her Aura up; but since the webbing was not a damaging attack, it was able to ensnare her. But my point is it still has to make contact because it doesn't interact with the aura itself, take Rebin's example, Ren using aura to block the King Tai's attack, if one did that with the Bola, the electricity never makes contact, rendering the COMBINATION useless, Bola's work on momentum, this means it requires only minimal redirecting force to stop the attack cold.

Alternatively, if they cocoon themselves in aura, it is possible they can keep it from wrapping them in the current's range, and because they themselves aren't physically touched, the aura shouldn't deplete because the electricity bypasses the aura entirely as you said.

Further, activating the dust current inside an opponent's aura range would be nigh impossible.
