I don't really care. I'd like to keep this discussion objective.

So, if Pyrrha's semblance only works when she's touched the thing she's trying to manipulate, or she's got some kind of conductive matter bettween herself and that thing, she could theoretically just get her team-mates to douse the battlefield in water, and she could control all the metal on the field.

I hate doing this, but, the fourth wall dictates that she probably does have to make contact with the metal first, otherwise Mercury wouldn't have opened his sentence with "Once she made contact...". It's painfully obvious exposition once you think about it.

Man, fuck the fourth wall, it really trivialises these discussions.
