You problem. All objects have auras. Even inanimate objects have auras.
That's why the passenger of a car can travel through a mana wall, while the
passenger of a motorcycle will go splat.

As for why a person would want to quicken a spell to an inanimate object, how
about a version of the Armor spell that works on vehicles? Or how about
quickening anti-bullet barrier to your favorite car?
