 -Active ability: Tier One: The user can allow a target to use the next tier of their Semblance, as well as increasing the durability of their Semblance. Buff lasts 1 minutes max at a time.

 -Active ability: Tier Two: The user grants the target access to the next two tiers of their Semblance, doubles the durability of their Semblance, and increases their physical strength and speed. Buff lasts 2 minutes max at a time

 -Active ability: Tier Three: Grants the target complete mastery of their Semblance, Doubles the durability of their Aura, Doubles their Speed and Strength and increases their prowess with Dust. Buff lasts for 2 minutes 30 seconds at a time

 -Active ability: Tier Four: Only upon reaching tier 4, Rachel can grant these buffs to herself. Using her Semblance greatly increases the cost of using it, and she can only buff herself for 1 minute and 15 seconds maximum I don't think Semblances actually operate on a tier system, we just use that in the Templates to better specify the growth/extent of their abilities. In terms of just increasing a person's skill with their Semblance... I guess it makes sense.
