An aura radiates from you in a 30-foot Emanation for the duration. While in the aura, you and your allies have Resistance to Necrotic damage, and your Hit Point maximums can't be reduced. If an ally with 0 Hit Points starts its turn in the aura, that ally regains 1 Hit Point.

The 2024 version clarifies the aura is an emanation, and explicitly states "while in the aura" for resistance and healing effects, whereas the 2014 version states "in the aura."
