1) Qrow stated outright Ruby turns into rose petals, which apparently gives her a speed boost since petals have little weight to them but I digress.

2) Animals are still out since qrow's shapeshifting has been proven to not be his semblance so far...BUT elemental/object morph is a thing now.

1) ......Well, that's quite the dreadful mess-up by RT. We've seen Ruby's Semblance dozens of times on-screen, including the couple of times we can actually see her moving while using it (like the food fight, and when she kinda carried Penny) and she most definitely did not turn into Rose Petals.

2) Mmm....is it? I mean, shapeshifting into animals is easier down the line than turning into petals. Your mass doesn't downright divide and dissappear, at the very least. Sure, Qrow turning into a bird may not be his Semblance, but if people can turn into petals without problems, pretty sure turning into animals is just as believable, perhaps more.

1) I think Luck-based and Mighty Morphin Semblances should get their own type classifications.

2) I think the Dust Interaction with Earth should turn them into rocky stakes instead of keeping them wooden stakes.

3) I assume when he uses the T2 ability, he cannot move whatsoever?
