Those look good to me Spirited. Very well thought out and effective for combat purposes while not making your character overpowered!

If I may, I have another semblance idea that I would like to share. I am debating whether or not to use this one because I am afraid it may considered OP, so I want you guys' opinions to see if this would be acceptable.

Name: Molecular Manipulation

User: Grizelda Steel

Type: Physical

Purpose: Offensive/Supportive

Short description: User manipulates the speed of molecules in two ways that cause the object to explode, or become immobilized, effectively, "stopping" time.

Visual effect: Object either explodes spontanously, or "freezes".

Range: 15 feet

General Limitations: Power is channeled through hands. Thus, if hands are restricted, the semblance can do no harm. Relies on precision as well. If someone is out of the line of fire, they will not be effected. Freezing power lasts only 20 seconds. Freezing can also be undone if physical force is enacted upon the frozen object/person. User can not blow up large objects. Those more powerful than the user can not be frozen, nor will they explode. At the most, they'll be knocked back.

Passive ability:

Active Ability: Tier one: User slows down molecules enough to make the object/person appear frozen in time. Tier two: User range is expanded, and user can now unfreeze objects at will, or partially. Can mass freeze. Tier three: Can set criteria for freezing. i.e. "in room full of people, only the students will freeze". Can freeze indefinitely. User can now speed up molecules, causing objects to explode.

Note:  I take no credit for the creation of this abliity. This power derives from "Charmed", an ablility that the second eldest, Piper halliwell posseses. It's one of my all time favorite abilities. It's so creative, and I hardly ever see it replicated outside of the Charmed Universe. I hope it isn't considered OP for the RWBYverse. If it is, that's fine, I have other, original semblance ideas that I could use.

But what do you guys think?
