Natural weaknesses that heat pump systems have IRL being as you described earlier; temperature limitations where the more you cool an area the harder it is to take heat from it, and vice versa the hotter the space the harder it is to heat it.

to clarify how refrigerant works it absorbs/releases heat due to pressure/concentration, so Aura could easily become a proxy I actually like this a lot more. Thank you and everyone else so far who have helped refine these semblances.

Also, with regards to the first semblance I mentioned, 'Infernal Void', I was thinking of modifying it so that it afflicts anyone trapped inside with an intense freezing sensation. Basically it would be 'freezer burn'. I thought it would be fitting to change it from something intensly hot to its inverse, as the acid semblance already fulfils the 'burning' niche. Also, a dimensional void with incredibly cold temperatures could be construed as being based off something approaching 'absolute zero'.
