aureole isnt a wish machine, for example, it cannot resurrect the dead but instead sends you into controlled torpor. It's abilities are vague but when designing snekstelles post game content involving her making a dolled aureole be friends with KeA on the sly I decided that the main thing it can do is affect things at an increadible range and, because of it's ability to dominate a space, interact with and understand a persons mind, which would also be necissary in order to meaningfully affect a persons dreams anyway. This level of control, power, precision, is utterly insane, but not limitless, it's implied in canon that the aureole leaveraged black box technology, forced updates and compliance, and regimes to measure the energy and attention it can give. Considering human nature, it's highly likely it endured the same kind of alignment protocols we are forcing ai to endure IRL too, while treating it as though it where basically a terminal (IE it MUST produce whatever has been agreed upon unfailingly. in the same way you would expect a key depressed to display a character and would think a keyboard is broken if it didn't.). Despite wielding such power, and having a mind, it does not appear that the aureole was treated like a real person by the society it inhabited. And in comparison to our existing dystopia, it's still likely that even with benign intentions the demand for an absolute and calculable system of trust for the mind of the aureole became considered a necessity since it has virtually unlimited sway over all of then liberl society. Considering wiessman exists, its not unthinkable someone awful could have been involved but Celeste never comments on it so its up to speculation. Ultimately it's ability to supply its orbal energy over a vast space, transmit thoughts and imagery, and powerfully affect someone is probably most like links and brave orders.
