that may be the case. What we do know about gaining a semblence is that there are aura excercises that work towards this that can be performed with minimal equipment.

However, Pyrha also talked about discovering a semblance as though it were a fixed thing in some way, which casts doubt on the theory. In addition, if the semblence could be determined by the circumstances under which it were activated I would expect there to be more focus on trying to get a useful semblence rather than just "discovering" it. Or at least some form of optimisation effort.

Of course, on the flipside Pyrha's semblence discovery excercise wasn't working, which could be because Jaune already had done so accidentally in Forever Fall, where he did indeed get something which bounced Cardin right when he wanted it.

The thing I find interesting is that everyone has a semblance that at least partially reflects their personality, or suits their fighting style, or both. It's hard to tell which way round the causuality for the latter goes though.

Jaune's semblence is develloping in a way that supports his already existing fighting style, whereas Pyrha clearly built her entire style and weapons around the use of her semblence.

and regarding Adam.. well, it's certainly noteworthy that somebody who has to throw out all his absorbed energy in one go and can't do anything else till he does would use a weapon and style based around single strokes.
