What Sentry said. The entire thing that had us learn about Aura is that a tree branch scratched Jaune's face, and Pyrrha asked why he didn't use his Aura to protect him from it, thinking that his Aura was unlocked because, duh, if he's at a Huntsman Academy, it's supposed to be unlocked. When he expressed confusion, she realized he got scratched because his Aura was locked, so she unlocked it for him.

When Aura is locked, it doesn't do anything, at all. No protection, nothing.

The reason Ruby didn't kill the henchmen she fought in the series premiere is because she hit them with the back of her scythe instead of using the blade on them.
