You're going to attempt to bring real world physics into a show where one girl is able to manipulate metal with her mind? In the friendliest possible way, I have to ask, did you actually READ my entire Semblance? I even specifically stated that time is not frozen. When I wrote "steps between two moments", it's implying that the character is sped up so fast he is reacting in the short amount of time before a SECOND becomes a SECOND. Very, very quickly.

Yes, you are absolutely right, Ruby doesn't move that fast. However, her ability also allows her to: 1) Move at that speed for a much longer amount of time. 2) Add secondary effects to it, such as moving so quickly she creates a tailwind that can knock over an entire group of super-powered students and pin them to a wall, as well as pick up debris and also throw it. 3) Has no visible drain on her aura levels.

My ability only lasts for one action, or one split second. It does not alter or freeze time in any way, the semblance even specifically states that it alters the BODY. And it doesn't HAVE to be "attoseconds", that was, as I clearly stated, an example to better explain how the ability works, so you wouldn't think it was teleportation or time travel.

In reality, there is no such thing as an aura or semblance. We cannot use this magical force to deflect attacks, instantly heal wounds, or perform feats that defy physics. Even moving at the speeds Ruby does would destroy a human body and we'd collapse under our own weight from from how heavy we would become, because, as I'm sure you know, the closer to the speed of light you move, the more mass you accumulate.

My ability would not allow the character to travel around the planet several times, or gain so much mass your strikes would cause the planet to implode and turn your enemy and surrounding environment into fundamental particles and quark-gluon plasma. It would simply make the user speed up briefly so it seems as if they "move in between two moments". A single action, faster than the enemy can register, that takes an ungodly toll and cannot be used repeatedly. It is in no way overpowered, it does not involve time travel, it does not freeze time, and it doesn't have to make the character move anywhere even REMOTELY close to light speed.
