Just looking for some minor feedback.

 Semblance template :

 -Name: Energy Absorption/Redirection

 -User(s): Brandon Airgetlámh

 -Type: I guess....Conversion....? Not really sure.

 -Purpose: Utility (The effect is neutral, neither offensive nor defensive. However, with enough creativity they can be used as such)

 -Short description: The user can...absorb certain types of energy, typically associated with Dust [which pretty much is energy in-universe], then store or redirect it. Typically

 -Activation Cue: The area of absorption [and the long streak of silver dye in his hair] is encased in a (You guessed it!) silver-colored glow.

 -Range: Personal, I think (until he redirects it at other things...that's Short/Medium Range I think)

 -General limitations: Well, aside from the high Aura cost, there's the type of energy to consider (some are easier than others) and risk of injury from absorbing said energy. (For example, heat energy has the risk of burning the user.) It requires intense concentration, and storing too much increases risk of injury. Oh, and it's very situational [this point can be overriden if he uses the Dust aspect in his sword].

 -Passive ability(s) (if any): Greater resistance to elemental attacks [specifically fire and electrical, as these have the greatest association with "energy"]

 -Active ability: Tier One: Can absorb active Dust or naturally produced elemental events at close range through his hands or his sword, [fire at this point is the goto, and electricity is extremely difficult to even take]

 -Active ability: Tier Two: Electrical absorption becomes easier, albeit not as well developed as heat absorption, which can by this point store large amounts of it

 -Active ability: Tier Three: Small degree of control over light [this was a late in the game thought, I explain more on this point in Notes, considering it's removal]

 -Dust interaction: Fire, Electricity, [whatever else works for energy]

 -Notes: Since Brandon's base color is silver, and he needed a Semblance, I did some digging and found out a little trivia about elemental silver: It has the highest thermal and electrical conduction of any metal, and silver mirrors have 98% reflectivity, thus, all the components I found were included in final design.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;margin-bottom:0px!important;"> Oh, and on the topic of personality basis - he first discovered it as a way to protect others when they were about to get consumed by flames....and I guess the situational aspect of it is based on the fact that he is probably the least capable / useful member of his team. Considering this, he has not officially [in the story I write for him anyways] discovered it yet...his was more of a "late in the game" scenario thing.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;margin-bottom:0px!important;"> Lemme know what you guys think...I went through a great deal of thought on this and would like a second opinion on what concepts could be improved. Thanks in advance.
