Alright, let's post it. YOLO.

-Name: Dilationed Fling

-User: Invernalia Arcana (Invernalia isn't a word IIRC, though it's what GoT spanish subs call Winterfell and it's at least derived from Invierno. It is almost identical to italian Invernali at any rate).

-Introduction: Sends the user flying towards the created Glyphs 1 by 1, in order of creation, in a manner resembling gravitation, with a slight time dilation.

-Description: The user creates a Glyph with a 3ft-radius somewhere within range. After a half-second delay, the user is sent flying forcefully towards said Glyph. How forcefully is proportional to how far away the Glyph was; the further away, the more force. As such, it could be compared to a slingshot.

The user is capable of moving her body during the effect, but cannot change the direction, meaning Invernalia has some degree of maneuverability but will always fly towards the Glyph's general direction.

The speed-of-travel can be controlled to an extent. While moving towards the Glyph, there's also a slight dilation of time, where the user sees things as moving more slowly.

Multiple Glyphs can be cast in succession. Invernalia will gravitate towards them 1 by 1 starting by the most recent.

-Range: Medium (15m maximum, and consecutive Glyphs can't be made beyond 5m from the last one. This increases as Invernalia improves her skills).

-Type: Conjuration

-Purpose: Utility

-Visual Cue: The Glyphs resemble a numberless clockface with 2 hands constantly moving with a trail effect.

-Auditive Cue: A Bell ringing-like sound that echoes 3 times, each deeper than the last.

-General Limitations: 1) After creating a Glyph, Invernalia cannot dispell it personally.

2) Flight-speed cannot be smaller than 1m/s or higher than 15m/s (both limits improve over time with practice). The minimum and maximum speed-of-travel during the effect also depends on the distance between the "current" Glyph and the next one. The higher the distance, the higher both of those are.

3) Invernalia will stop being attracted towards the Glyph either once she reaches it, or if she's stopped or severely slowed down momentarily by something mid-flight, like if crashing into a tree or a person. This also dispells any remaining Glyphs.

-Applications: The simplest application is to launch herself in a specific direction, allowing Invernalia to perform quick dashes or longer jumps. Due to the way the effect works if multiple Glyphs are made, it can be used for somewhat-limited flight, though it has the chance of being tiresome.

-Dust Interaction: The effect itself is not altered by Dust, but any Dust used during flight by the effect will have whatever-was-done-with-it be affected by Momentum even when it normally shouldn't.

So if, hypothetically, Invernalia makes a pillar of fire, said fire would inmediately trail off in the same direction as her as if something pushed it.

-Notes: 1. Before you raise any comparisons with Weiss's own Glyphs (Summons aside), let me tell you: 1) These Glyphs are not solid surfaces, and 2) Invernalia keeps all Momentum after reaching the Glyph(s), and 3) Weiss's Glyphs don't involve curvatures in the spacetime as far as I can remember.

2. It's inspired by Gravity, though it isn't exactly like Gravity for the most part. The reason behind the Time Dilation is that gravity is a curvature of Spacetime, due to the uneven distribution of mass.

The reason for Dust having "enforced momentum" is that, since mass and energy are equivalent, energy of all kinds, like Light and Electricity, also causes and is also affected by Gravity. ---

My 1st attempt at making a Semblance that allows Invernalia to preserve her Combat MO in Remnant.

She's an (yet another) attempt at making a RWBY version of a Non-RWBY character I've thought up. The original Invernalia was an Angel, which allowed her natural access to Time and Light magic. Much of her fighting style consisted in the use of tiny bursts of Time Dilation, leading to what could pretty much be called an "Organized Rushdown".

However, since there's no such thing as Time Dust as far as we've seen, that's not an option, so I tried to think of a Semblance that could translate that without resorting to simple "Matrix Time".

I had a writer's block in this regard for at least a month, this is the first acceptable-for-me thing that came to mind.

Of course, the goalpost is still miles away, since......about 20 days ago I mentioned in the OC thread that I had been working on a character that was in an "Ozcar" situation. And that character is Invernalia.

The main problem is that we know nothing about how it's even possible besides the Aura Transfer Machine, and I can't think of anything believable that would justify it's use on her. Meaning my only remaining options are all pulling stuff out of my ass. Even if I did use that machine, we don't know if the patients would end up like Ozcar instead of just blowing up or something.

However, the exploration of the idea of "1 body, 2 souls" that I had with her original version, in itself, can easily be done as well in RWBY with at worst only minimal changes, which is why I haven't given up on this attempt.

.............It does mean I still need to think of another Semblance though. Sigh......back to the mental writing board....
