It's still a Semblance, it's just not thematically unique. Candor's Semblance is unique to him, both in how it functions and what it is. I could make it super-powerful, and originally I wanted it to be along the lines of Delson Rowe from Infamous: Second Son. But, it just felt too overpowered in comparison to other existing characters. Not only can he steal Semblances (Though the original user keeps said Semblance), but he can keep a little bit of the power to himself. It might not be as powerful as the original user's, but over time, it would make him a formidable, nigh unstoppable opponent. And the only limit? His Aura. But, what if he gets a Semblance that lets him steal Aura? No limit right? All of these factors convinced me that underpowering this Semblance would be better for the story, and ensuring that Candor isn't the star of the show, or forcibly removed from a scene to make things harder for the other characters because he's not there.

Note: Candor does not steal the Semblance permanently; it's returned to the original user after he takes it. If they die, than the Semblance also dies with them.
