ORRRRR............. we could have it where as he receives battle damage, instead of his power going up, his DEFENSES go up. I was thinking teh same thing, Everything we've seen and heard of him, teh burns on his body, his suffering from teh loss of twop wives and almostlosing both of his kids twice, gives the impression of someone who has to endure blow after blow from life. His Semblence would be a good indicator of that: The more life pushes him down, the harder it becomes especially if he has a harsh backstory. In relation to Yang, his Semblence would work similarly. As he takes damage, it all builds up until it explodes forth, shourding him in fire as well as protecting him.

Combat wise, he would be similar to a Stone Wall, capable of enduring or dodging hits no one else can but having relatively low offensive power, leaving that to someone like Qrow. It would also work with his protective dad instincts, tanking blows so his kids can escape or be saved. Also in relation with Yang, instead of being triggered by anger, it's triggered by fear if we're going by the "Wizard Of Oz" interuptation and he's the cowardly lion so his semblence allows him to eitehr stay strong or make something out of that fear.

Limit wise, it could be made that it's more effective if he has no Aura, thus he cannot combine the two. That or he starts feeling pain more as he's pushing himself beyond his limits.
