Mercury is clearly smarter than he lets on with how quickly he figured out Pyrrha's semblance and how she used it. A lazy genius if you will, but he certainly has a style to it.

Cinder talking about taking away opponent’s power, and that sewing needle make me wonder about what exactly she means. Will it simply be psychological, and putting her in a position similar to Tony Stark in Iron Man two (Whiplash said if you show people that a god could bleed they will attack like sharks (or something along those lines it's been awhile and I never rewatched it)).

Will cinder somehow make it so that Pyrrha will be unable to use her semblance? Some people have already suggested she do it with accupuncher. The 4.5 episode telling us that dust being weaved into cloth makes some more fanciful ideas come to mind. Could she create a dream catcher that empowered by dust could steal a semblance, or voodoo doll? Also could Cinder gained someone else's semblance by weaving their essence(hair?) into her clothes? The fact that she has a list of students definitely means she has targets, but is it for recruitment, or the powers she wants? Many character who could copy the powers of others often want a collection (Leech from Static Shock). I know it's just speculation, but why wouldn't someone in remnant try to find a way to copy semblances and to them into something like armor mods?
