honestly, I would have preferred it to be a double edge sword of sorts, maybe make it so you have to focus your aura to your eyes, so while you are granted this wonderous weapon, it leaves the rest of your body unprotected, making it harder to use as it makes it easier for you to die. instead we'll probably just get "don't spam it or you'll get real tired" or something like that Yeah, but RWBY actually counts as a Shonen, it’s structure & everything, so they can’t have a power that physically hurts the Main Character without a solution to avoid the injuries & still use the power, so yeah... I'm not asking for something that injures her, just would have been better if it opened her up to more easily be injured so that there would be a reason no to spam it in fights.

again they'll probably just to the typical anime thing where at first it exhaust her to use it only to eventually get good enough to use it all day without even needing to recover, and that makes the power kinda boring. just desiring to protect life gives you the power to do one of 3 things to grimm, and with the requirements just being the desire to protect over destroy, it probably won't be long before she masters it and then Cinder will be no issue, and heck unless Salem finds a way to resist the powers, it'll make fighting her easy unless Ruby just exhaust herself fighting an army first
