I'm iffy about that because a semblnace is a part of you, a manifestation of your aura based on your personality. It feels like you would be suppressing their individuality itself rather than simply not allowing them to use their semblance.

However, a semblance that makes aura-molding harder for everyone, including the user, wouldn't be so bad I think. Being able to mold your aura is part of how you use your semblance, so to make it harder to mold aura by putting out a wave of aura that 'disturbs' the aura of everyone around you for a set period of time (but doesn't interfere with aura's passive abilities to stop damage but not pain) would work. This would also help prevent others from using dust effectively and those aural slashes and the like.

A short time limit would be a must, though semblance spamming would be possible. And I'd say make it so the user can't use their aura properly either to balance it out a bit. Also, a person with enough practice could force their aura to obey and use their technicques and semblances as normal, but it would cost more aura as they brute force their way through the abilities.
