Also, one person says Aura grants in increase to speed. Another person says I'm not allowed to siphon speed because too many physical factors make up how "fast" you are. Is that so? What physical factors are there in place that make Ruby able to zip around faster than sight? Is she incredibly strong or something and I'm just unable to see her huge muscles? Ruby, and people with speed semblances, would probably be the only people you can siphon speed off, and even then you wouldn't be able to siphon their natural speed, only their aura-augmented speed. So they wouldn't end up becoming a 'statue', they'd just be average speed, while you would end up being above average speed.

Kind of makes a semblance sort of useless if they can only steal the speed from a small minority of people.

A suggestion; make it boost his own speed, make it boost other peoples speed around him, or make it slow others, like Paralysis does. But only one of these otpions. We limit it to one effect per semblance because otherwise it's too game breaking, and all canon characters have been shown to have one semblance; Glynda has Telekinesis. Pyrrha has Polarity. Ruby has her speed. Blake creates diversion clones. Sun creates explosion clones. Weiss has her push/pull glyphs. Yang has her super-saiyan strength.

All other effects used by the same person are done with dust, which is why we have Dust INteraction as an options - such as Blake's clones exploding when destroyed due to fire dust, or becoming a stone statue when combined with earth dust.
