Dudes, this is the RWBY-version of Armor Lock :D

Which means it'll be both awesome and have clear limitations. For one, it drains Aura much faster, leaves me sitting in one place, and I can't do anything until I stop using it. Therefore, easily exploitable if I don't watch myself. It's defensive only, as it only protects me. I can't really use it for anything else. By myself, that is.

By constantly using it in short bursts when necessary only, I minimize my high Aura drain whilst also covering the weakness of lack of mobility and ability to counter. As well, by having teammates launch my absolute defensive form at opponents, I inadvertently become a deadly projectile weapon.

The balance lies in my own person. I often don't pay attention, so I get sloppy, and just plain forget to use this Semblance at sensible times. Plus, I use it for too long in a single interval, and I become too weak after coming out of it.
