"Adam was also powered up in that instance"

Yes, powered up....such a miniscule amount it makes no difference. You think a few small shots from a pistol will power him up to the heavens?

"They just didn't do the black Aura swiggles to signify her Aura had been broken, an error on their part."

There was no error. She still had Aura left, at the very least enough to make a clone. Had it been broken, I'm calling BS if it managed to recover enough that quickly.

"Why, may I ask, are you so quick to cry "assumption" when someone takes a guess of what happened in-story."

Because you have an extremely irritating tendency to add 2 and 2 and get 20 somehow. You make wild assumptions with little evidence, calling it a theory is an insult, and hypothesis is being too kind.

I am perfectly capable of accepting assumptions if they are not the wild kind. 9.5/10 times, yours are. Calling them speculation is at times even being too kind, as they often veer more towards sophisticated spitballing.

And the least you mention your very OOC view of Qrow and Raven, the better.

"Considering he reveres Salem as a goddess, it's a given he would not have killed Ruby in that instance."

Except, with that speed, and the strength of his tail, like I said, he would've definitely killed her if her Aura was truly at 0.

If he really was being careful about not trying to kill her, he would've tried to stab her more slowly, which wouldn't have caused the same sound it made when Qrow blocked it so suddenly.

Plus, when Yang got her Aura down to 0 in V3 (and probably in V2 vs Neo), she ended up KOd, unconscious, even though the kind of hit she received shouldn't have necesarily caused that. Ruby wasn't KOd. Beaten, but not KOd.
