What exactly fuels Adam's semblance?

I mean the way he lights up when deflecting Blake's bullets implies its aura stealing, yet his aura doesn't do the same when he crosses swords with her, kicks her or slaps her so im inclined to think its not

Perhaps he instead absorbs the energy transferred by the speeding bullets, as opposed to drawing out however much of Blake's aura they carry. It would justify why he doesn't light up in the above circumstances, and also fit with the only other instance we've seen the moonslice: the spider droid, following his assimilation of the robot's large energy beam

Who knows, maybe this can explain how Adam can (presumably) deal insurmountable degrees of damage to any opponent's aura in order to demolish it, and subsequently dismember them - i.e. Yang; yet also annihilate opponents without auras, such as the spider droid, as he disintergrated it (not simply cutting its limb off). Perhaps that's just RT having some artistic license; perhaps thats Adam transferring the siphoned energy into an all-out deathblow in which the force obliterates the robot...
