What do you all think about the character? -You once again make super-small descriptions of the weapon.

-I cannot see how "slamming" a Gladius against a Tower shield could make a Spatha. Especially when the Spatha is basically just a longer Gladius. Not to mention a Tower Shield is much bigger than a Gladius. Trying to slam a Gladius into that kind of shield to wield it like a longsword would be extremely awkward, similar to just trying to wield the shield itself like a sword.

Even if the Tower Shield had bladed edges and such to slice things with it, I cannot see how the Gladius could turn into a longsword just by "slamming" it into the shield, much less a Spatha, due to the very different shape and way it would be wielded. Unless it curved and covered the sword, but then you get an improvised Kendo practice sword, not a Spatha.

-Semblance is fine, though not the most creative. But there's no need to point out that it hurts Grimm; we can already imagine it can burn them through the sheer heat.
