I'm not speaking of simultaneous use, but consecutive use. A fireball followed by a force push, instead of just a fireball. The overall result is smaller-costing if you only use Aura, and not Aura and then Semblance. Except there is no evidence either the push or the activation is not a "rider" effect(1x1=1) of the original spell, further it could be posited that actual "aura bending/manipulation" has limited range/maneuverability that is exceeded by using Weiss's movement glyphs, making combining it beneficial.
