Huh. Well that's the first time I've ever blocked someone because of a godawful signature containing multiple pictures generating dead space on my screen, but okay.
With the list of all shit that normal Aura can do (but RoosterTeeth than braindumped), Jaune's Semblance would make physically on par with Superman (albeit ignoring the stuff like flight and lasers/frost breath).
I am once again requesting that edit time be extended to five minutes.
Is it actually not a feature in the second Xeno version or something?
I can actually see that, and hate it.
Imagine developers adding ability to use eggplant and sweat emojis but removing the ability to alter post-edit...
It'd be hilarious if it was something like changing the color of her aura, eyes, and hair.
Tattletale: "What use is this?!"
Jaune: "It looks very pretty?"
Tattletale: "Well, naturally, but it isn't useful."
What? How do Semblances do a 'second trigger' equivalent?
If a 'semblance of magic' can pull on Aura, there isn't anything saying that Magic proper doesn't.
Magic sets up the spell, and Aura provides the fuel.
They just may not have known about Aura being a separate thing from Magic until Ozpin tried to grant magic to people.
We do see that he can...
I mean that everyone has a Semblance, which acts like a pool that stores Aura and direct it towards the body, and an attached effect.
Just because people haven't figured out what their Semblance is doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, after all.
The only exception to that would be Mercury, so...
My internal worldbuilding is that Semblances are 'semblances of magic', and that Aura as it exists in RWBY only came about when Ozpin tried to see if he could get people to generate their own magic again.
Rather than succeeding at generating magic, they sorta received 'the shape of his magic'...
