Here's another piece of info against the separation of Aura and Semblance.

The "forcefield" that Ren uses to defend himself against the King Taijitu is definitely Aura. It happens while Pyrrha is explaining Aura, and she does specifically say that it can be like a forcefield, when prompted by Jaune. This forcefield is pink.

The "bullets" fired from Ren and Pyrrha's guns also seem to be Aura. The colour that Pyrrha's Aura glows while unlocking Jaune's is red, and so are her shots. Ren's shots are fired during Pyrrha's explanation of Aura, during which time she also says that their weapons can be used as conduits for their Aura. His shots, however, are green.

Therefore, unless I'm mistaken, Ren's Aura can be both green and pink. This means that one person can have Aura of multiple colours, meaning that Pyyrha's "Semblance" being black holds no value. It also means that Weiss' glyphs being mulit-coloured has no value. Both can be explained with Aura.

Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean they're the same thing, but I'm under the impression that colour is one of the main arguments for their separation. Feel free to discuss.
