User blog comment:VedranTheII/Pretentious Diaries 1: Are my semblances worthy?/@comment-26018514-20150628101130

off topic but about the blog; did you make that character up? there was nothing but the leviathan in the Conduit series with electrical abilities

I still don't think categories are useful or necessary. Semblances are not shown as limited to one thing, they have 2 sides, cosmetic and function, roses and speed, flaming hair and actual physical power. In both of those examples they have been shown to have an possible interaction effect, Ruby's vortex and Yang's club leveling explosion.

This does not mean semblances should be thought up with multiple unrelated effects, but it does mean that if a semblance can be thought up with those 2 separate parts interacting in a unique way, or that dust has a reasonable expectation to change the inherent properties of the two, it can vary, but they have to be a reasonable alteration
