Ok with that out of the way.

You guys misquoted me a couple of times on Cinder. As of volume 3 I am also in the camp that thinks she has either fire or heat generation as a semblance…hoping it’s the former since the latter means I might have to nerf one of my favorite semblances.

To summarize my opinions on what we’ve seen of Cinder.



-the bullet blocking is an aura trick. Ren did an equivalent display when fighting the Giant snake iv V1

-the runes are a sign of more potent dust spells, since Glynda also used them in V1 despite having telekinesis as a semblance; like someone else pointed out, Cinder's change of clothes in V2 was most likely her rearranging her dust threaded catsuit to look like a dress. Also on the matter I think every mage have their own “unique” pattern of runes, similar to a signatures.

-her weapon creation was dust manipulation.

As for why her semblance is probably fire/heat generation…and also why I grudgingly agreed on the spikes from the ground as a viable semblance…she popped a popcorn with her bare hands in V3 while her fingers lighted up
