I mean, if it was just Aura, logically you could simply do what you say there, meaning X would have little Aura yet would recover it over time, while Y would have 2 Auras, one of which might not regenerate.

....However, if it was just Aura, then there would not be the questions about potential Loss of Identity, or anything. We also know that Maiden powers don't require Aura to be used like Semblances, so just giving Pyrrha Amber's Aura would likely in itself not give her the powers.

Personally, the way it was described and given the possibilities, I think it's more of a Soul Transfer machine. Aura is directly linked to the Soul anyway, so by transferring their Soul their Aura would be transfered with it.

Following this, there's a new line of possibilities. Assuming that, somehow, whatever Soul was possessing Penny was not "complete" and there's a girl in a coma somewhere with, say, 1/4 of her Soul remaining, then what would happen if another Penny was given that remaining 25%?

It'd be "Like you but with less of you", but what would it mean? That fundamentally their personality would be different? Their traits? ....Or maybe they would be retarded and barely functional as a person since it's only 1/4 of a person's Soul? Could that little Soul develop into a new one?
