The bow has little aluminium fins which... increase the draw weight w/o increasing overall length too much

Interestingly, in Rome (which had the most famous gladitorial fighting in the world) only about 4% of gladiator fights would actually end in a death.

The semblance recharges him in a very short amount of time, only taking 30 seconds at most (which only happens if his aura is almost entirely depleted and he hasn't built up a lot of adreniline). However, this battery takes 50% longer to recharge than his normal aura and can only be recharged after his aura is filled up. The length is the problem. If the bow's too small compared to your body you'll either overdraw, meaning sacrificing accuracy, or you won't be able to have good form (because the bow only draws so far and you're supposed to draw until the arrow fletching is by your cheek; at least that's what I was taught). Poor form can wreak havoc on all parts of using a bow, and hurt the muscles. You need to lenghten it by 2 feet. If you do that through extendable fins on the back, fine. Just lengthen it.

Learn something new every day.

Looks fairly  balanced to me, though I would say rather than doubling the user's aura it should start at 1.5X, and then go to 2X or 2.5X when he's perfected it.
