There’s something that’s been bothering me for a while now, and that’s about not using semblances when the characters aura breaks. I know it’s been mentioned behind the scenes, but I don’t recall anything mentioned in the show itself. The aura WoR even implies they CAN be used when aura breaks. I can even think of a few instances in the show: White trailer - Weiss uses glyphs while bleeding V3 ‘Beginning of the end’ - Emerald uses hers on Qrow after Amber broke her aura V3 with Adam, Blake and Yang - Blake used hers after Adam stabbed her V4 ‘Punishment’ - implied that Qrows is still active after his aura breaks (when the beam falls on Ruby) V5 finale - Raven uses hers after Cinder broke her aura V6 Grim Reaper flashback - implies that Maria used preflexes to kill Tock after she blinded her Let me know if I’m reading too much into this
