Yes, conversion is like Nora's semblance. Going by that, you could do a semblance that converts something into a chunk of temporary aura; so it generates a large amount of aura, but the aura has to be used up with a specific time frame or it dissipates and disappears, leaving the user at a slightly lower level than they were before they did the conversion. Tying it to a specific thing helps stop this from being a spammable semblance, as they have to have whatever it is they convert on hand in order for it to work, but also makes the Mage a a real Battle mage, with the ability to put out high amounts of Pure Dust spells and do more of the aura techniques like Aura slashes and Aura Shield.

And now I want to make this semblance. >.>
