Carbonite Aura was a type of combat gas that, when sprayed, produced a wide stream of liquid carbonite that solidified upon contact with the target. During the time while target was immobilized, it could be attacked without a chance for self-defense, or in some cases, simply be smashed by a blow from the weapons' reinforced butt.After a few moments, however, targets would thaw, and there was no sign of hibernation sickness. Unlike carbonite rounds, carbonite aura was used exclusively in cartridges for wrist-mounted spray gun, allowing them to fire at targets at a distance of up to 15 meters.
