I don't think it relies too much on the other persons aura - sure, it gets a secondary effect if it does manage to steal a little bit of their aura, but you let Live get away with a summon that worked by picking up the excess traces and bleedoffs from techniques. I think the problem here is that it sounds as though it doesn't work at all if it doesn't have a bit of the other persons aura.

Maybe a way to reword it is that in order to create the homing/special fireball, the user has to tag the opponent somehow (whether it be through an aural attack, just reaching out with their own aura, or physically), but the user can make normal aural fireballs that don't home or have special effects if he doesn't manage to tag the opponent.

I will be honest, except for the homing and special effects part the semblance just sounds like a standard aura attack to me.
