Considering people in the real world are capable of fighting without losing a limb, it makes sense that in RWBY, that is also possible too. So getting an aura via combat, I don't find it so hard to believe.

But I was thinking more through training or something like that. It makes sense that auras could be unlocked naturally after all. Someone had to be the first. Also, there are a lot of students in each Academy, with very diverse backgrounds... it's a little hard to believe they were all lucky to have come across someone who was willing to unlock their aura when some of them seem to have no one at all.
