So basically an imagine breaker in RWBY? I don't think that could be the most powerful Semblance. It all depends on the person who has this Semblance. All the Semblance would do is to null your own Semblance and leave you open for any wounds, however, Aura is just something that makes RWBY special but doesn't mean the series depends on it. Anyone with enough training can do awesome things without the need of Aura. If it wasn't true then normal animes would need to create something to explain everything like saying magic, soul energy, etc. Even without Aura: Ruby can shoot you, Weiss can stab you, Blake can cut you, Yang can beat your face, etc. It's also on RWBY: Grimm Eclipse. Your aura bar can run out but you can still fight and shoot. This semblance will make you a very dangerous opponent but it's hardly anything to worry about given that the characters know how to fight.

And to the people saying it would affect your soul or something: we've seen that aura is something that can be unlocked, meaning that you can live as a normal person for your entire life but that goes
