Plus, as you would summon the monsters using Aura, you constantly would be losing LP if Aura=LP. It's like those cards that effectively prevent the enemy from attacking but you have to pay LP every turn. Only nothing here prevents the oponent from attacking (even think of using something like that, you would be an instant Marty Stu, and that would mean you would be among the biggest kinds of shit. Everyone Has Standards, except there at Fanfiction.net).

And as your LP/Aura gets lower, you get more tired. As proven by Weiss.

And of course, you may fight in turns if you wish, with waiting some time before doing X again. But remember everyone else is living in Real Time.

All that, of course, depends on whether you choose to follow RWBY's canon, laws, elements and concepts, or poop on it and let your Small Name, Big Ego attitude make you ignore it entirely because you think that just because your friends compared you to 2 Yugioh characters your Semblance should be literally Yugioh. Eh, I think only certain semblances/weapons can make such "direct attacks". Everything else has to go through a monster if there are any. There is a fine line between OP and underwhelming, they say. Of course, Negate Attack does exist.

Well, the monsters are summoned and "attached" to the aura, but they don't actually consume it. Taking "battle and effect damage" would be the only way to deplete the aura, but like the case of Weiss, as the aura goes down, one side effect could be fatigue and physical injury. As for Marty Stu, it depends on more than just the semblance, it also depends on character personality. If the character himself barely fights, let alone using the semblance, well, all you really have to go on is his persoanlity, and that is a mixed bag in terms of opinions.

As for fighting in turns, yes, I would be restricted to that. Everyone else's attacks are assumed to take place during their "Battle Phases", so to speak. Also determinant on how well things go is how many allies/enemies are present.

Eh, I see it as less of an ego thing and more of a logic thing, but YMMV. Oh I don't think the semblance should be that because of my friends comparisons, I think the decks used with the semblance should be that because of said comparisons.
