- Name: Hercules' spring First off, hey Zoe! Can I call you Zoe? Welcome to the thread!

Right now, this seems like it would break a cardinal rule of Semblances; Semblances must never harm the user. The way I'm reading the Semblance, there's a huge amount of force on the muscles when the 'spring' is released (enough, as I imagined it, to put a dent in a steel wall), and that seems capable of stretching or tearing muscles.

Add to that the fact that the windup takes a time (5 seconds? 7? Can you elaborate on this?), and the muscle can't be moved after windup and this seems a bit clunky.

Now, I made 2 assumptions; that the force would harm the user and that the windup time is considerable. Now, if this is the case, I would lessen those extremes and power it up in later tiers. If this isn't the case and I'm overestimating the Semblance, then I think it could be fine.
