I realize that most people don't play it this way, but my honest reading is that auras are a one-per-object-or-creature property, and that you don't detect one for each spell on a person. To summarize, the evidence I see for this is:- Standard fantasy/occult understanding of "aura" as a single color glow around a person/object.- Detect magic text saying that auras are borne by items or creatures.- DMG "Magic Items and Detect Magic" text saying to reveal only the school of the single highest-level spell.- DMG "Aura" definition text saying that items only have an aura in the singular.More importantly for this thread, do we generally agree that, if a wizard just looks at the subject of a spell using normal sight, he is unable to target a single isolated spell (like charm person or spell resistance) for dispelling? Andargor, Hypersmurf, Saeviomagy?</blockquote>
