Petrify is op. Not only does it is extremely lethal, but it also "breaks through" Aura's passive barrier. The only way I can see this being justified is if it has a ridiculously high Aura cost (as in the user is basically left Auraless after a single use). If the effect was more of a numbing effect that slowly kills body parts unless dispelled with Aura, but that cuts the usefulness by quite a bit.

I don't really understand the purpose of the glyphs. Do they function the same as T1, but without the prerequisite of touch, or does it act as a "power booster," allowing T1 to act a lot faster than normal.

Also, a 30 second cooldown is really low for a (practically) instant kill ability. I guess the Semblance's "op"ness rides on how long it takes to completely turn a limb to dust and whether or not the effect can be dispelled with Aura.
