2) .....Her weapon sounds more Scourge-like than I remember.

3) Yeah, I don't think it's strictly necesary. If you want to add anything Fire-related, there's Dust for that, so a Fire-based Semblance wouldn't be necesary for the references.

4) Wait...freezing to death? The version I knew had her "going to heaven with her grandma", leaving it more vague but implying she burned herself to death, considering she was staring into the tiny flames right there and then. And if not, then she died of hunger.

As for the Hallucinations...............LMG saw images of food, and eventually her grandma, in the flames of the matchsticks. So.....Fire that creates or induces Hallucinations?

5) I can't think of anything either. Though I feel a Fire/Heat related Semblance would be more fitting than a Cold/Freezing one.

6) That sounds a bit.......very-last-resorty. 1)Nah, more akin to farscrying than fortune telling. Seeing things from far away.

4&5) The very last paragraph of the story starts with this line:

In the dawn of morning there lay the poor little one, with pale cheeks and smiling mouth, leaning against the wall; she had been frozen to death on the last evening of the year, and the New Year's sun rose and shone upon a little corpse!

As a side note, I just bought a book of Hans Christian Fairytales which includes LMG.

Hence I figured a cold related semblance would be more fitting with the tone, since the story is based around the fact that she froze to death and couldn't get warm no matter how many matches she lit.

The question I have with inducing hallucinations is "how do I avoid just making another Neo/Emerald semblance?" If everyone sees it, it's like Neo's. If only one person sees it, it's like Emerald's.

6) Which is why I asked for help. I don't really want to resort to it.
