That is an interesting idea indeed, although I'm not sure I like the implications either...I wanted my semblance to be pretty subtle anyway, just to inspire allies and cause fear in enemies and the like. Besides, how would that work exactly? Dust manifest physical magic-like effects. So, I throw a fireball using red dust, and becaue I have an empathic semblance, my throwing a fireball makes everyone angry/passionate? I'm just not sure how that would work, practically speaking...

Thanks for the idea though. I'll have to think on it. how would your semblance normally work?

I'm talking like you open a vial of earth dust and fire dust and channel some of it using your semblance to fortify your teammates resolve and help them fight passionately, or you notice a companion is being sloth and apathetic during an assignment and channel lightning and fire dust to excite them and make them passionately pursue the project, or you feel someone being stubborn and confrontational and use water and wind dust to calm and soothe their attitude, allowing you to end conflict without confrontation/fighting...
