So, just in case, spoilers for V5 Ch 12 for the rest of this text chunk. You have been warned, but you should've seen it by now, seriously. This is a question I had since they revealed Jaune's Semblance: Can Aura actually heal people? I mean, we see it heal Jaune, but the RT team said that we'd seen Jaune's Semblance before V3, which I assume alluded to Jaune's bit of healing. So can Aura actually heal, or can we attribute that healing to Jaune's Semblance alone?

Imma quote Phantom from another thread again because I've seen this question pop up a few times since Jaune was shown healing Weiss:

Ren: Your body isn’t used to this kind of training, not to mention generating a defensive Aura on your own. It takes intense concentration at first, but in time it will become second nature, allowing you to deflect attacks and gradually heal your wounds. After  that, you can begin focusing on your Semblance, whatever that may be. The bit we saw before was in V1 during the Jaue Arc, when Cardin tries to punch Jaune and ends up falling on his arse clutching his wrist. We were told in the Director's Commentary that this is the first instance we see Jaune's semblance. Not the scene with Pyrrha unlocking his Aura and his cut healing, the scene with Cardin being a dick just before the Ursa arrived.
