I've always had the idea that a Semblance grows in strength and usability as its user grows and evolves, even before the whole thing in canon where we learned that Weiss' Glyphs also function as summoning circles. It isn't sensible for every Semblance to be at its maximum potential right out of the gates, after all. Ruby will probably learned something like running in a circle so fast she creates a vacuum; Blake will probably learn to create multiple Shadow clones; Yang's Semblance, for all we know, will gain actual fire properties beyond just the hair aesthetic.

It's logical that OC student Hunters follow the same route, is it not? My point being that so long as it's kept sensible in terms of progression, and balanced throughout, a character should absolutely gain new capabilities with their Semblance. As for your guy's Semblance itself, I respectfully withdraw my opinion, as I tend to dislike those types of Semblances that let someone use whatever the hell kind of weapon they want, so I'm biased.
