Um, doesn't Aura already protect the user? most reflective Semblances happen apart from the user (Vedran's Cycle, second tier, for example, allows the user to place a glyph that alters the trajectory of anything that comes into it's path). Using Gray Skull would just be like putting on Armor, Aura makes it obsolete. the only way it's of any use is if the user runs out of Aura, but since Aura fuels Semblances, that wouldn't help either. Unless, as Spirited said, it numbs the pain of the injury, since no damage would occur.

I think...

 As for your second one, my first (and least significant) problem is that it has too long of a name; In my opinion, Semblance names should be short and catchy. Now on to the bigger stuff. one, what exaclty is the AOE of this thing? is it a foot? 10 feet? 10 miles? what is it?

God, I'm such a nerd. How much of a nerd, you ask? I DID THE MATH ON HOW MUCH THIS WOULD HURT A NORMAL PERSON! I may need professional help...

WARNING; MATH AND PHYSICS AHEAD! I MAY NOT BE RIGHT HERE, TELL ME IF I'M WRONG, PLEASE!

Note, I'll be converting to metric to use the actual calculations, then converting back to give those people who still use the not-metric (royal, maybe?  IDK) measurement system, including myself.

On top of the AOE issue, theres the issue of the drop, and the force the drop would cause. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s/s. the target is travelling up for 1/2 of a second, so division tells us that they'll be affected by an acceleration of 4.9 m/s/s when the gravity returns to normal. Force = mass times acceleration, and lets assume, for the sake of ease, that the target has a mass of 70 kg (musclebound teen with weapon etc.). Force = 70 times 4.9, or 343 Newtons or (converting to pounds, 77 pounds) of Force just from the fall. This thing disorients, disarms (probably) and hurts the opponent in one fell swoop If this is a cheap Semblance, the user can do huge amounts of damage. I'll spare you the math, but a mace weighing 1 kg or about 2.2 lbs (which is average for your typical mace) swung at 80.5 km/h or about 50 mph would cause about 288 Newtons of force. Yeah, that fall would deal WAY too much damage...

MATH ENDS HERE!! AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BY ALL MEANS!

TL;DR- The drop this Semblance would cause would do quite a bit of damage, as well as potentially diarming and disorienting the opponent AND serving as an offensive and defensive tool.

So there's my 2 cents on the matter... If you want, I could help you make them work.
