Finding: Anemo can be the aura for swirl during Bennett-Jean Sunfire under very specific circumstances Evidence: https://youtu.be/ZEQdmWjMBNM?t=16 At 0:16-0:17, Bennett's Q applied pyro shortly after Jean Q applied anemo on the active character (Kaeya). This caused Bennett to become the trigger for swirl, causing a sunfire pulse which was vaporized for 2244 pyro damage, even though Jean has 0 EM (Bennett had 141 EM in this run). A subsequent vaporized Surefire pulse at 0:21 dealt 872 damage, which was the expected amount if Jean is the trigger. Though there isn't currently a known method for reliably reproducing this phenomenon, it is near certain that the conditions required to replicate this involves swapping characters while under both Bennett Q and Jean Q such that Jean's Q applies anemo right before Bennett's Q applies pyro on the active character. Significance: This is the second known scenario where anemo is not the trigger of a swirl reaction, but rather is the aura of one (the first being the Anemo Hypostasis). For sunfire specifically, this could substantially reduce the damage of a chain reacted sunfire pulse (see #chain-reaction-sunfire-jean-post-update for more details). This also implies that certain sources of anemo can cause a unit other than the Anemo Hypostasis to have a reactable amount of anemo aura. Lastly, it debunks the common belief that anemo cannot be the aura for a swirl reaction (though the behavior of the Anemo Hypostasis already serves as limited proof).(edited)

Basically, Jean applies an Anemo aura to the on field character for a brief time. No other Anemo character can do this either on characters or enemies with any ability, but future ones could.
