Does it affect the user as well, or just those around him?

And another condensed semblance. I have one more after this, but I'm trying hard not to flood the thread with them because I know how annoying it can be to have one person posting tons of semblances and never get a chance to post your own.


 * Name: Carapace
 * Type: Conjuration
 * Purpose: Defensive
 * Short description: Creates a deflectionary shield over the entirety of the body which deflects attacks and prevents them from feeling the pain behind an attack
 * Activation Cue: A glowing outline around the user
 * Range: Personal
 * General limitations: Aura does not regenerate at all while semblance is active. Shield automatically cuts out when user’s aura hits 20%. Only blocks physical attacks, not Aura or elemental attacks.
 * Active ability: Tier One: A layer of aura appears over the entirety of the body, only a few centimetres from the user’s skin which cushions blows and makes the user lose 25% less aura when struck. It also prevents them from feeling the pain behind the attack. Deflects physical hits on random angles but does not prevent the knockback effect.
 * Active ability: Tier Two: User disperses the kinetic energy behind an attack into the air around them, allowing the user to ignore knockback and stagger effects. Can create a shield on an ally, but allies do not resist knockback and stagger effects.
 * Active ability: Tier Three: User can harness the kinetic energy of an attack against them into a kinetic shot that travels up to 10m (32ft). Cannot stack kinetic energy for more powerful shots
 * Dust interaction (Fire): Burns the attacker when struck
 * Dust interaction (Earth and Ice): Shield is solid, adding extra protection and resistances to elements, and reducing aura cost when struck but lowering maneuverability
 * Notes: This semblance combines my Carapace, Dispersion and Deflection semblances together.
