Well, I'm not interesting in reading about a character in a comic that has never caught my interest, nor am I interested in ripping off someone elses super power mechanics. If the semblance evolves, it will be because of character progression in the story, where it makes sense. I write semblances organically and share the base level of power before I play with them in universe, which allows me to develop it according to the character rather than acording to how I think it could be made more powerful.

I prefer a bunch of questions in this case, because as I said, I don't want to read someone elses work, get inspired, and then have to deal with people basically saying "You ripped off this [thing]!"

That being said, I've already said it's not a hivemind. There is no channeling of thoughts or feelings through any parties, just some simple controls/commands to do a thing, and the ability to see and hear what the birds see and hear. I'm not interested in making it a hivemind either.

The number of birds they could affect would also depend on the individual characters experience; a newbie would obviously affect on a couple of birds (2-3 'dumb' ones at most) while if I handed it off to a veteran, they could probably get an entire flock of seagulls to coat a car at will.
