Everyone here is assuming that it works based on absorbing and redirecting energy. The way I interpreted it was that is was a sort of adrenaline rush type deal. The more injured she becomes, the more powerfull her attacks, not due to some sort of absorbtion of blows, but just due to whatever energy powers semblances in general. It certainly doesn't seem proportionate to the power of the hit. In volume one she gets some hair chopped off, and that gives her enough of a boost to launch a freakin' bear through a tree trunk. that either shows that it's also powered by rage (as I had assumed previously) or any amount of physical harm gives her a massive boost in power no matter how hard she was struck.
