Not sure if this one will be allowed, either. I attempted to post another Semblance last week but it was rejected outright and I was told to make revisions. Since it would become an entirely different Semblance if I were to alter it, I figured I would try this one.

-Name: Standstill

-User(s): Evra

-Type: Physical

-Purpose: Utility

-Short description: Utilizing a large chunk of the user's aura, the user augments his/her body in order to "step between" two moments in time. This effect does not freeze time, it allows the user to move between two moments.

-Visual effect: The user's aura will appear around their body, and suddenly flare up as if being lit on fire. The next part of the Semblance cannot be seen. Example: in combat, the user's aura would flare to life. In the very next moment, the opponent would be on the ground, their jaw (or other body part) injured/sore, and not knowing how they wound up there. Example 2: The user is in bad shape and is utterly outclassed by his/her opponent. Using this Semblance, it would seem to the opponent as if the user suddenly vanished, when in reality he used his Semblance to escape.

-Range: Personal, but if physical contact is made with an ally, the user can use twice as much aura to use Standstill with them.

-General limitations: No matter what, this Semblance can only last a moment. It also required a great deal of aura to be expended in order to use it. Three or four uses in a single battle would completely drain the user's aura. If used back-to-back, without waiting for recharge, two uses would leave the user exhausted.

-Dust interaction (insert dust type here): Interacting with dust will cause this Semblance to make the user's next attack charged with that dust element, but only for one strike/technique. Example: interacting with fire would cause the next attack to be charged with fire.

I was thinking of attempting to add a passive ability that "alerted" the user of this semblance to life-or-death danger a split second before it happened, giving him the option to use his Semblance if needed, but that may be considered a rip-off of Spider Sense and/or too powerful.

I really hope this Semblance gets accepted, unlike my last one.
