Well with all this joy over probability semblances I can’t help but feel we are downplaying the other big factor of the episode.

Qrow stated outright Ruby turns into rose petals, which apparently gives her a speed boost since petals have little weight to them but I digress.

CERTAIN MORPH SEMBLANCES ARE NOW VIABLE FOR THE SSMASLE

Animals are still out since qrow's shapeshifting has been proven to not be his semblance so far...BUT elemental/object morph is a thing now.

I remember someone once posted a semblance that let the user turn to smoke. If you are willing to give it an update it can get on the list without any worries now…and as a gesture of good faith I’ll update one of my older dud semblances to prove it.
 * Name: Impalement;
 * User(s): Sorin Viciu;
 * Type: Physical;
 * Purpose: Offensive;
 * Short description: User is able to temporary morph his body into wooden stakes;
 * Activation Cue: Various parts of the users body temporary turn into dark brown stakes of varying sizes;
 * Range: Personal;
 * General limitations: Transformation only lasts a couple of seconds (starts at half a second and increases with age); in addition hitting the stakes will directly eat up the users aura;
 * Active ability(s) (Tier 1): Temporary convert a limb into a stake to run it through opponents; stakes can't be longer than the users limbs;
 * Active ability(s) (Tier 2): Can convert entire body into a human sized stake for a particularly vicious tackle;
 * Active ability(s) (Tier 3): Stake can now be made longer than the users limbs with an apropriate aural drain;
 * Active ability(s) (Tier 4): Can create multiple stakes at once, allowing them to, among other things, temporary turn into a pincushion of stakes for defense;
 * Dust interaction (earth): able to create longer lasting stakes that the user can use as a projectile;
 * Notes: Users of this semblance have been described to having very piercing glares.
