So you would be copying the Semblance, instead of absorbing the Semblance.

In the state you are describing it, it's brokenly OP, because of the range, and how you can absorb the Semblances of anyone around you in that big range. Even if you could only use 1 at a time, you would simply use them consecutively instead of at the same time.

Here's my thoughts for that Semblance of yours to make it not-OP, or at least much less Mary-Sueish:

1-Absolutely remove the capability of copying the Semblances of multiple people.

2-After copying a Semblance, using it will have a slightly-higher Aura Cost than normal, as you wouldn't simply be "using" it but also "holding" it.

3.1-Remove the "if I have copied their Semblance once, I don't have to get in contact with them again to use it" part. Make it "get in contact, the Semblance is "stored" until I "replace" it with another one". Or at least, a small max-range to copy a Semblance, not 100ft.

3.2-Also, that means a serious reduction to the range (in case it wasn't clear).

4-Copying a Semblance won't mean you instantly know how to use it, so obviously you won't be too skilled with it as the person you copied it from.

5-The range of the ability, after copying someone, that said someone can't leave without "removing" your copy of their Semblance: It's range is bigger than the range of when you are "copying" the Semblance. Let's say the max-range when copying a Semblance is 15ft. Now, the target can't get 40+ft away from you without you losing their Semblance.

6-If the target is an Aura user of enough skill, they can "resist" your copy of their Semblance, preventing you from copying it if they are strong enough.
