Thanks. Perhaps having a corrosive effect upon inorganic molecules/Grimm, but inflicting minor burns on anything with an Aura would be a decent compromise?

1. In my opinion, Jaune's exclamation on Aura being 'like a forcefield' is likely somewhat lacking. Pyrrha's semblance for example appears to manifest directly outside her body, if the darker outlines around her hand and Jaune's shield were any indication (Volume 1, Episode 8.2 (Forever Fall 2)). Another example are the flames associated with Yang's semblance; they don't seem to burn her, though this could arguably be artistic licence. Then, there's Weiss's glyphs that can be projected into space at a location presumably of her choosing. What I'm trying to say, is that while Aura is manifested from within the user and seems to be the 'fuel' for using a semblance, such implications don't seem to be enforced with the direct application of one's semblance yet.

2. Perhaps the semblance's taxing nature upon the user's Aura reserves would be one of its drawbacks? Also, would there be a plausable inverse to this? If it can 'excite' particles, perhaps it can reduce their energy levels as well?
