2) I have 2 issues with this one...1: The passive ability. While I have issues with Passive Abilities in general (generally because people don't use it like it logically should be used: to explain the Passive effect of the Semblance, like Yang's Energy Absorption on Damage), I can forgive if the passive ability makes sense from use of the Semblance (if the Semblance increases temperature, resistance to heat makes sense).

But in this case, I cannot see how creating items that explode, leads to passive thermal and blast (which is basically just kinetic) resistance. Unless the user loves to be in the middle of their own explosions. Which, given how it seems that user loves to make melee weapons with that Semblance, may well be the case.

2: Besides the fact the explosive can be shaped like objects such as knives and swords, I think it could be an Aura Technique. I may be recalling wrong, but Blake's Blade Beams made some small explosions when crashing against something. And logically, if people can make Blade Beams, people can make other kinds of Aura Projectiles, such as Hadoken-like stuff.

Which means, people could logically also make explosive Aura projectiles.

Now, overall, I still say YES regardless, because the former issue isn't too big, and with the latter issue the part of being able to create items instead of just simple energy projectiles sets enough of a difference.

3) I say NO, for now.....Because there are a few bits that annoy me.

1-In the "Passive Ability" section, it lists some....what I assume are side-effects. Slowed reaction time, extreme famish, and other stuff. However, since it's in the PASSIVE ability section, it implies it does all that Passively........which is OP.

2-In "Dust Interaction", it mentions how if one uses Fire Dust, one can create explosives or smokescreens......And I have 0 idea for how is that possible, since the effect specifically makes Scents, aromas. Not actual gasses.

More minorly, the Active Ability section could use some improving.

4) YES..............But that's one of the most boring names for a Semblance that I have ever seen. I mean, seriously? "Breath", of all things?

5) YES, though I'd like to know....can one breathe inside a Bubble?

6) Tier 4 effect is superfluous due to Dust Interaction, and the number of ricochets seems too ridiculous. Even at T1, just firing a shotgun or blunderbuss will lead to overkill. NO, for now. Tone it down a little and then I can give it a YES.

7) I say YES for the moment, but some things could use some updating.

1-The name absolutely does not fit the ability in any way whatsoever.

2-"Marking more than 2 objects makes it nearly impossible to predict the path the objects will take". Eeehh, wouldn't they just go flying towards a central point and crash together?

Or 2 of the objects are sent towards the remaining 3rd object which is the one with the most amount of Aura in their Glyph?

Or each body goes towards whichever other body under the effect is closest until they all crash together?

8) It's............horrendously simplistic, so YES, but it really, really, really could use some spicing up.

Some "Tier 2+" section where the user can affect multiple objects, or make things lighter than just 30 pounds. As it is, while not bad, it's just...boring.

---

9) The user Propels themselves forward..........like the above, it's horrendously simplistic to the point it's boring, though it still gets a YES. Though the whole bit of "aerial action is limited" feels plain unnecesary. At least allow more than just 1 use in midair, if only at T2+.

-

10) YES, but........my god, that template is ancient.
