Never really thought about the superweapon idea.

Oh, and I've gone ahead and just thrown all my chips behind the fact that aura and semblance are linked, with the later being an application of the earlier. That theory makes too much sense in my mind for me to deny or ignore it.

The way I see it, though, is that breaking the physical moon with a physical weapon wouldn't really affect the moon's aura/semblance powers. In my mind, you have to break something spiritual spiritually as well as physically for there to be a lasting affect. Aura regens over time, right? Just like actual wounds. So inflicting just aura damage on the moon would only have a temporary effect, the same way that if you inflicted just physical damage on it, gravity would eventually pull the peices back together. You'd have to shatter both to actually damage the moon beyond nature's ability to regen, and a superweapon wouldn't do that.

So, all we can really infer is that the moon is linked to semblance in some way. It's fun to guess, though. And who knows, maybe one of us is right? There is a huge RWBY community, and we all have our own ideas.

But hey, those are just my thoughts. Hopefully we'll get a real answer sometime, because I really hope Monty doesn't leave us with few answers in the end.
