Outside of other Semblances that would act as counters to whatever random elemental effect the user conjures (i.e. Nora's Semblance), I don't think there's any way for someone to redirect an elemental attack back at the user.

Also, I suggest changing "elemental effect" to "elemental attack" as judging from what you said above, the user would already cause an elemental effect by conjuring the element in the first place. For example,  giving someone's third-degree burns with fire or stunning them with an electrical shock. Those effects can't occur without a tangible cause.

On that note, I just realized that this Semblance has two entirely different abilities, one of which is pointless since as I mentioned Dust can achieve the exact same effects with the added drawback of potentially costing more Aura to use.

1. It creates an elemental attack which in itself would have an associated effect as mentioned earlier. Dust can achieve this on its own.

2. In addition to the effect from the element created, the song itself has various effects including...

- Damaging the user and the target

- Healing the user by stealing the target's Aura

- In the next tier, it shields the user. This includes all of the previously mentioned abilities.

Tl;dr take out the first ability, and keep the second.
