Why does my Clarity suddenly turns off?

Hi. I've noticed that sometimes my Clarity aura stops running, and I can't understand the reason.

At first I thought that I was pressing its hotkey by mistake, although it was kind of strange, since that key is far away from the other hotkeys I use, so I simply cleared that hotkey, and it kept happening.

It doesn't happen often, but still, I'd like to know what am I doing to cause it.

I'm running it with Blood Magic. Don't know if that's related.

Any ideas?

I have the same issue with Tempest Shield.

Even with auras cleared off my hotkey, the ability will occasionally turn off.

it might be a calculating error , generally i see it happen in maps with the smothering mod or on build that just don't have the mana regen to properly maintain their build.
I have Tempest shield on a lower level character who frequently runs out of mana, even with a mana leech gem.

Pure casters have a much more difficult time keeping mana up than melee, at least until they get EB.

Whenever you level up a gem in a piece of equipment, and that gem dictates what the current attribute requirements are, it causes the equipment to shift which breaks all gems tied to it. This is most common with Tempest Shield, because every time any gem changes the shield's attribute requirements, TS will be removed since it is dependent on having a shield.

I can only assume the equipment is removed for a frame and then checked against the player's stats to make sure they can still wear it. Rather redundant in my mind since the player cannot level a gem without meeting the requirements in the first place.

possibly right clicking the buff icon in the top of the screen accidently during combat

I didn't know this was a thing, and it's likely what is happening. Gotta be more careful. Thanks. (:

If you use a weapon switch and your aura gem was in weapon/shield you are hiding it will turn off. Could that be it?

No. I don't have a switch for this character yet.

I think it's what HateMonger said about me right clicking the icon thingy, which is quite possible, since I have my main skill set to right click. I didn't know you could turn auras off that way.

I believe this mechanic resulted as a fix to snapshotting auras with blood magic granting gear.
