Adding magic to the story was Monty's idea, it wasn't there from the beginning. Anyway, we were told that magic is smth unique and is assosiated only with Maidens. I'm fine with it.

Turning into a bird isn't magic. As far as Qrow is no Maiden, he has nothing in common with magic itself.

It will turn out to be another "rather rare trait" - but it's not good.

The color was just an example: one person - one color - one semblance. Having two or more traits/abilities is out of the story logic, 'cause people in the World of Remnant were supposed to have the only ability - their semblance. Having two ones at the same time (even though one may be named "semblance" and another - "trait/magic/ability") is the same with having two colors instead of one. Maidens are an exception, and this exception isn't out of the WoR logic. Qrow's ability - is.

I wasn't talking about combat at all. You did't get my point: it's not about having two special abilities making someone OP. And flying was just an example. It's about having two special traits at once - whether the are good or not, usefull or not etc - beeng really inadmissible.

I tried to say, that RT do not follow their own rules. RWBY was good, 'cuase we had not any "special" characters who have way more different abilities than the rest of the characters. At least at the beginning. All characters were equall at this point. Than we got maidens - ok, they had some base for it, i get it. Than we get Schnee gliffs as a base for summoning - well... It may be explained easily. Than we get "the silver eyes thing" - and that was BAD, really. It's not about some use in combat, it's about the rules of the WoR. And now - Qrow. Of course, we'll get some explanation about Branwens being "special" - but it wouldn/t make the situation better. An archetype of "special people" in any story is a cliche, it's a trait of any senen manga or bad modern litereture for and about teenagers. I just thought that RWBY will be smth better. "I was just a youthfull optimist", yeah.

I don't know how to express it better, sorry, language divide.
