Photon Revelation: Radiation

[Crexis]

It lists radiation as doing this:

As a standard action, you can emit an aura of low-level radiation. Creatures within 5 feet of you must succeed at a Fortitude save or be sickened. A sickened creature recovers as soon as it moves out of your aura, and a creature that succeeds at its saving throw is immune to your radiation for 24 hours. This is a poison effect (see page 415). The radiation lasts for 1 round or until you leave photon mode.

When you are attuned or fully attuned, the size of your aura increases to 10 feet.

At the bottom it says attuned OR fully attuned. Doesn't 'attuned' mean that I basically ALWAYS have a 10 ft radius aura around me whenever I turn on Photon Revelation?

Yep, that's right. This would include your party.

The upside is that this may not be so bad for your allies. if your allies are wearing a space suit (i.e. armor listed in the core rulebook), then they have protection from this low-level radiation.

The flipside is, that protection may also hold true for the enemies.

Not necessarily. Apart from attuning photon revelation (which is a free action) you also have to activate the radiation aura (a standard action). If you're worried about friendly fire keep in mind that any creature who saves against the effect is immune for 24 hours, so you could try to inoculate your party members by having them save against it on your first combat encounter early in the day.

This would certainly require consent from the party members.
