Using a Semblance is the same as wasting MP to use any other spell. Using Aura to use Dust already does that, already wastes MP to use a spell, and using your Semblance on top of it would only increase the MP wasted.

Think about it, if she only used her Aura, she would only have to create a fireball. Since she doesn't know how, she needs to use Aura to create the fireball, and use more Aura to create 1 or more glyphs, just to send it flying.

It's quicker, more inmediate, less predictable, takes less Aura, takes less time, all that shows that it's more efficient. On the contrary, I'm going to have to call bullshit on you there Live.

There exists no evidence semblance is > than regular aura use. likewise there exists no evidence that semblance does not automatically = dust use levels required.

In other words, you are claiming the formula is 1+1=2 while it could just as easily be that 1x1=1
