For example, Aura would just protect the target from being affected by any fatal attacks until it runs out. How would the ability be so precise to target the bloodstream? Not to mention this ability is OP, it's a bit tortuous in my opinion. Mainly it's OP, so please tweak it. ...You ignored all the fucking limitations I gave it. And it doesn't target the bloodstream as a whole, only the visible bit of it that the user can see from whatever injury the target has.

And it doesn't need to be blood that's on the bloodstream. Any blood anywhere works. If the target sprays some blood around somehow, the blood on the ground can be boiled.

And finally, thanks to all the limitations and limited uses of the Semblance, it's not OP at all. Impractical at best.

Next time, read the actual info on someone's template beyond the description.

@Blue: About bloodthirsty characters...what would exactly fall into "bloodthirsty"? Other than vampirism or hemophilia?

I once thought of somehting, not RWBY related. A disease or condition, that could be passed down genetically and manifest at birth, that caused people to get an increasingly-uncontrollable desire to injure or kill things, which calmed after doing so. It could be fought back with medicine, but if the user tried to resist it on willpower alone eventually they would lose, and try to perform messy, violent kills, and on extreme cases even got moments of temporary cannibalism. No permanent cure is available.

Does that count as bloodthirsty?

@Ray: Your views on blood powers and blood-using characters is starting to sound very inherently biased...makes me feel like you reject my Semblance less on "has no base on logic" (which is both unnecesary and not entirely true), and more because you just don't like that kind of ideas.
