Yes. To communicate, surely, but like I said, ttk need not serve as a two-way transmitter. With enough dedication to the craft, one could likely figure out how to alter a unique individual's thought processes in a matter of minutes (maybe an hour) in a controlled situation which is why I stated it need not apply in the heat of combat.

Becoming OP requires only three things: a conduit of power, imagination, and ambition. Obviously, one can't do anything without power. Imagination helps in figuring out how to wield that power. Ambition suppresses compassion and ethics so that the horrible details involved don't hinder our performance.

Everything else is left up to the individual to figure out and no science, logic, or math can effectively counter someone who actually wields such power.

The bottom line is that it is possible, no matter how hard you try to explain it away. This is a subject I've researched since I was a wee six-year-old setting his apartment on fire. My applications may not suit your science fiction, but bear in mind that mankind is not limited to the pseudorealities we've created in effort to explain how technology and superpowers could work.

This thread asked for a Semblance. Clearly, I didn't bother with the previous iterations, so I didn't realize it was supposed to be kept within the scope of the RWBY-writers obviously limited representation within the show. I mean, damn, Glynda is really not doing all that could be done with her Semblance. You just need to look at Marvel's Phoenix or watch Star Trek for a glimpse.

The entirety of my point is this: outside of fiction, you really cannot pose a valid argument against my suppositions as no one in our reality has ever actually attained these powers.
