Talk:Semblance/@comment-1458758-20151106004151

I've always had an issue with the idea of Semblances since they were introduced (Formally by Phyrra, didn't care before then)

If every Semblance is solely unique (Some appearing similar, but never the same) Why do they have names like they would be recognisable?

If no two Semblances are the same, things like Mercury telling Emerald and Cinder that Phyrra's Semblance is Polarity should have no meaning to them than if he called it Magnetism. Are they recorded? Is there a big book of Semblances, but you need to check another book to find who owns which? Is that what the Third Crusade is about and Tukson was just really unlucky not to have that damn book on hand?!
