The coolest part about that RPG were the fights. In order to fight someone, you would need to role play or privately ask the person you want to attack to a battle, OR let the GMs know you were planning a sneak attack. You would then, using your character's equipment, stats and abilities, write your battle strategy and send it to the fight writer, who the opponent would also send their battle strategy to. They would read each strategy and come up with, based on how well you wrote your strategy and depending on your abilities and stats (and how well you utilize them in your strategy), the outcome of the fight, and then write the battle down and post it to the forums for everyone to read. Some of them were amazingly well-written, beautifully combining both characters' abilities into a battle that would only lose value if it were animated. I actually wrote fights for the game for a year or two and I had a blast doing it. That sounds like tons of fun, actually. And we always welcome new semblances! I'm sorry if you felt like I was attacking the previous semblances you have submitted; it was not my intention.

It's okay. The short description is literally the very basic idea of the semblance; like the Shadowstalker one of mine that you mentioned earlier. The short description says it can manipulate people via their shadows, but when you read through the semblance, it explains that it can't actually do that much, as the strength behind the shadow is 5lbs of force at most. So it might be able to slow a fist slightly by putting it's own hand in front of the enemies, but it won't slow it enough to really reduce the damage the person will take or anything. It's more of a scouting semblance. Think Shikamaru's shadow techniques and Dr Facilier's shadow from the Princess and the Frog.
