The passive ability also makes no logical sense or has any resonance with the actual Semblance IMO. But that's more of a problem with people's comprehension of what that section actually asks.

It's not that every Semblance has some extra bonus passive ability just like that. It's a part of the Semblance, or a product of it, but in a way that harmonizes with it, that makes sense.

1) The passive ability makes sense considering the active ability, or comes from using the active ability frequently.

Ex: Semblance rises temperature > User can resist high temperatures with less dificulty.

2) The passive ability refers to the passive effect of the Semblance.

Ex: Yang's Semblance. The passive effect is that it absorbs damage as energy when she's hurt. The active effect is that it uses that energy to power up her hits. So...what would you suggest for this?
