But it does bring up an interesting point; if Semblance is an active use of Aura (outside passive semblances such as Qrow's), does it still work if the user is no longer conscious for it to activate?

Personally I am inclined to say that active effects of semblances do stop when the user loses consciousness, unless the semblance is specifically geared around that. As far as I'm aware, Semblances are powered by Aura as long as they're not purely passive effects. And unconciousness due to trauma is caused by the jolting of the brain against the skull, which, I assume, your Aura would protect you from. So if it's an effect that requires a steady draw on Aura, it should stop working before the user is knocked out.

Regardless, I think you're probably right about this Semblance as far as balance goes. I'll add that to General Limitations.
