I found an idea for a Semblance that evokes Perfection. Sort of.

-Name: Domain of the Aether

-User: Aether Caelum 1) Aether is a primordial greek god, of "the upper air" (possibly atmosphere), and father of Uranos. The element Aether was the fith classical element, and in classic mythology it was considered the pure essence the gods breathed and lived in, their version of our air. Aether itself can mean "clear sky" and "pure, fresh air".

2) Caelum is latin for "sky" and "the heavens", and is related to Caelus, primal roman god of the sky.

-Type: Physical? Aural? Conversion? Not really sure.

-Purpose: Utility

-Short description: Creates a dome around the user. The user has control over the physical forces present within the dome.

-Activation Cue: A clear, mirror-like dome extends from the user until it reaches it's maximum lenght. Can go through bodies while at it (harmless).

-Type of Cost: Active when creating the dome and physical forces. Sustained while controlling them for more than a moment. Cost can vary.

-Range: Medium (3-5m based on tier).

-General limitations: Dome disappears if the user moves out of it one way or another. Any physical body that has at least 1 part of their body out of the dome is not affected by physical forces controlled or created inside the dome. Making a dome inside an existing dome overrides the first.

-Tier One: The user can manipulate and bend the physical forces present inside the dome. For example, can make an object be sent flying a much smaller distance when hit, or go flying in a different direction. Some forces, like gravity, are harder to control than others.

-Tier Two: User can create invisible physical forces within the dome, though with a much higher Aura cost than just controlling an already-present force. For: Cause a kinetic "boom" or push in an area, among others.

-Dust interaction: Provides some physical control over the used element inside the dome (ex: Using Earth means the user can control to an extent the Earth within the dome, instead of creating it like with normal Dust use). Fire and Ice Dust also allow limited control over the temperature. Steam covers the inside of the dome in a mist, while Gravity amplifies the strength of the created forces.

-Usage: In combat, Aether often uses it when engaging the enemy to mark her ground and fight beyond what she's normally capable of, not just using the effect offensively, but also to support herself, such as making herself lighter or heavier as required. Due to the Gravity Dust infused in her, her muscles are heavier than normal, and her implants don't help much, so she sometimes uses it out of combat to help herself deal with that problem for a while.

-Notes: I found "Aether Manipulation" under "Perfection" in the Superpowers Wikia. Some ideas were considered but rejected due to feeling too OP. For example, taking Aether as in "the essence in each material and inmaterial being", would mean "Aura", and Aura (of others) Manipulation doesn't really fit her personality.
