Basically, let's say everyone has 100 Aura. XYZ have 74, 56 and 90 Aura. ABC have 24, 10 and 43 Aura.

Once the Semblance is used, XYZ will pass to have 24, 6 and 40 Aura, and ABC will have 74, 60 and 93 Aura (see why I said "probably OP"?). Of course, it's not something one can simply cast over and over, as they need to stand still for 4 whole seconds (and that can be dangerous considering the fights in this show). Plus, use it twice in a row and your Aura will go back to being low/high.

The "reduces/increases one's Aura to 50%" idea reminds me of a certain spell in the Shin Megami Tensei games. Normally of Light or Curse element, it reduces one's current HP to it's half, unless they resist it (in which case one only loses 1/6), null/drain/repels it or is weak against it (loses 3/4 instead). Of course, bosses are inmune as all of them null/repel Light.
