I don't think we've actually seen any evidence whatsoever that Semblances can change into something else entirely.

Ruby's Semblance is still essentially doing the same thing it has always done. She has simply gotten better at using it, hence the fact that she has begun using her Semblance to accelerate much more often instead of relying on Crescent Rose's recoil to accelerate. She used recoil a lot in Punished because she had run out of Aura.

With Blake's Semblance, it's honestly hard to tell if her clones can move now or not, since the way they animated her making a clone and throwing herself was really confusing and made it hard to determine what exactly she did. And honestly, I hope that she does not suddenly have the capability of making clones that move because what makes the functionality of her Semblance different from Sun's is that


 * Blake's clones do not move, but she can move. They push her in whatever direction she wants, and she moves around while the clones either fade or remain as distractions or decoys. If she makes a clone at the last second, it pushes her out of the way of an attack and takes the hit for her. We have actually seen her clearly do this twice - once in Black and White and once in Battle of Beacon.


 * Sun's clones do move, but he has to refrain from moving in order to control them.

I say we refrain from assuming that Semblances can change into something else for the time being, as Miles and Kerry said that Volume 5 will attempt to explain Semblances more.
