@109 True, very good point. That is so, but I certainly don't think water would be hard to come by. And we know that Dust wielders can manipulate the weather to some extent. That, or someone could just simply keep their distance, take her down before she activates her semblance, or keep their noses covered.

Oo thank you for your suggestions. I actually like the smokebomb idea. As for the fire bomb idea, I'll put it into perspective. Her weapon--BellJuane--, is essntially a large glass pipe. The bass is circular, and enrcusted with Fire and Wnd Dust crystals. Whilst acitivating her semblance, she emits a certain chemical, funneling it into her weapon. While she does this, she would have to strike, or activate the Fire Dust crystal, thus shooting a fire bomb.

Only the harmful physical effects are random. For example, say she's fighting JNPR and RWBY. She uses her semblance on all of them successfully. The effect she wanted to produce was drowziness. So they all become drowzy, however Jaune, and Ren have an allergic reaction to Mary's chemicals, so they break out in hives or something, in addition to their drowziness. So we'll say 2 out of every 20 people may have a violent physical reaction.

Yep, someone like Blake would be doomed indeed. Wearing head hear would certainly protect someone from her Semblance though. If they can't smell it, or can't get it in their bodies, they are safe.

@Phantom Oh snap, good point. I'll just repost this with you guys' helpful suggestions. Or...I'll just edit the original post.
