This is just my personal theory (though a few others find it plausible as well); but I believe Aura and Semblances (along with Dust) are what remains of magic on Remnant. Dust seems to be a crystalized form of the elemental abilities people exhibited during Ozma's time.

In the case of Aura (Semblances specifically) they could be viewed as a sort of personal spell. Not true magic, but a single magical ability semi-unique to the individual. A Remnant of what once was.
