Oh you mean the scene where she magnetized…aluminium…cans…god that’s going to bug me forever.

A bit late but to address your question on whether it really matters if shooting lightning from your head counts as mental, aural or elemental. The truth of the matter is it doesn’t really matter, but it also doesn’t really matter if I know the process of breathing air, or why the sun shines, or how do plants eat.

Understanding why something works is never as important as simply understanding how to make it happen. You can drive a car without ever needing to learn how the engine works. But that doesn’t mean it’s wrong of me to try and figure things out.

That’s why I’m so unwilling to give up my typing completely. As headcanony, so to speak, as they are, I’m simply trying to solve the puzzle that is the RWBY-verse aura…it’s not like the show will do it for me anytime soon.
