Ren - Order

Nora - Chaos

Ren's aura is all about Balance, and looks kinda like Chi, So Nora's semblance is going to be something that allows her to defy physics and perform usually back-breaking movements with ease.

In other news, I've managed to make a sort-of system to classify the magic we have.

Dust is elemental, used as a power source in machinery and can be utilised in attacks that involve the elements such as fire and ice.

Aura is a persons own reserve of magic power, which they can use internally and externally like a barrier or soul juice or whatever.

Semblance is an attribute of a persons aura, so in other words a way they can use their aura that is specific to them. Some can use their semblance to project their aura outside the body (Weiss's glyphs) while others use semblances to enhance their own physical abilities (Ruby, Yang and Ren come to mind).

Basically, dust is sorcery, while Auras and semblences are innate. Everyone has an aura, and their semblance allows them to use it in a specific way. Great minds.....

You've put it much more succinctly that I've managed to so far. hopefully we can recruit a few more to our way of thinking.
