That's a really good idea but I doubt they'll do it. One problem though is that if the character is explaining their own power that leaves room for unreliable narration which is something I personally like but we'd have to take certain things with a grain of salt. I don't see how that would necessarily be unreliable narration that we would have to take with a grain of salt. Now, if it was a character explaining someone else's stuff, then it'd be pretty unreliable because that's the way they see it.

A character explaining their own Semblance, weapon, fighting style, etc. would be the most reliable that we wouldn't have to take with much salt at all, as long as they're not bragging or something.

For example, Weiss confirming that she has to mix lightning Dust with her Semblance to produce a time dilation glyph would not be unreliable and would not need a grain of salt because she would be stating a pure fact about how it works.
