Alright Boomerang, I think that makes sense. Though there's never been proof that semblances can be purely elemental. I mean, what would be the difference between a Pyrokinesis semblance and the use of fire Dust? No one in the show has an elemental semblance, the closest is Ruby and Yang's, but the petals and flaming hair respectively are more like manifestations of their semblances I believe, and not actually real rose petals or fire, but just the appearance of those things.

I think both your and my theories about it make about the same amount of sense and have about as much evidence as each other, but right now it comes down to personal preference.
