Ok, about the taking power away thing:

- I think she is either thinking about using the ball to apply some good old high school bitch manipulation to break friendships and couples and draw Pyrrha to the dark side/seduce Jaune (hence the walking away Pyrrha we saw in the trailer) to break her down mentally and affect her performance. - She will do some acupuncture and block Pyrrha's aura. The scene in the opening where Jaune puts his hand over Pyrrha's shoulder paralleling the scene where she does the same in the Volume 1 Opening is a hint to Jaune having to unlock Pyrrha's aura like she did it for him, maybe discovering his semblance during the process.

As for Blake, I know we have no evidence to think like this but: insomnia, difficulty to concentrate, obsessive behaviour and the colour of the shade under her eyes, has anyone considered poisoning? I know stress could easily explain all of it but it would help things get dark if she collapses half dead in the middle of a corridor or class.
