I think that argues that aura is pretty good at stopping things like that. I don't think that is her natural Aura, rather her Aura augmented by the Maiden powers, but yes, Aura can stop lots of things. Though for most people, they can't block bullets by their Maiden powers or grab swords by the blade with bare hands.
