2) Lets just keep these factors in mind: -Weiss has plot armor. -Her name is in the title. -She still has that whole family arc of hers to go through. -The wound appears to have missed the spinal cord. -The liver can regenerate pretty easily. -You don't need both of your kidneys to survive. -Aura has been shown and mentioned in the past to heal injuries. 1) She still had Aura at that time, however. And it's more likely Adam didn't truly stab her so much as just painfully poking her with the sword's tip.

Different from being shocked with a laser until your Aura drops, and then getting impaled with a hot Obsidian Javelin by a Maiden who can easily block a 2-handed sword with just 1 hand.

2) While I agree with the whole Plot-Armor bit, I need to point out 2 things:

1> You overestimate the liver's capability to recover from damage.

2> Aura only heals injuries when it's activated, and the only time it's happened on-screen was when it was literally unlocked for Jaune, who has tons of it according to Pyrrha.

Meanwhile, Weiss's Aura literally dropped while the laser was shocking her, and was still down when she got hit by the Obsidian Javelin with lava inside. And then she fell unconscious, and when unconscious nothing says Aura stays active, and if anything evidence says it doesn't.

Weiss will definitely survive. But it's doubtful that she survives intact.
