2) Lets just keep these factors in mind: -Weiss has plot armor. -Her name is in the title. -She still has that whole family arc of hers to go through. -The wound appears to have missed the spinal cord. -The liver can regenerate pretty easily. -You don't need both of your kidneys to survive. -Aura has been shown and mentioned in the past to heal injuries. 1) She still had Aura at that time, however (otherwise she wouldn't have been able to avoid decapitation with her Semblance). And it's more likely Adam didn't truly stab her so much as just painfully poking her with the sword's tip.

Different from being shocked with a laser until your Aura drops, and then getting impaled with a hot Obsidian Javelin by a Maiden who can easily block a 2-handed sword with just 1 hand.

2) While I agree with the whole Plot-Armor bit, I need to point out 2 things:

1> You overestimate the liver's capability to recover from damage.

2> Aura only heals injuries when it's activated, and the only time it's happened on-screen was when it was literally unlocked for Jaune, who has tons of it according to Pyrrha.

Meanwhile, Weiss's Aura literally dropped while the laser was shocking her, and was still down when she got hit by the Obsidian Javelin with lava inside. And then she fell unconscious, and when unconscious nothing says Aura stays active, and if anything evidence says it doesn't.

Weiss will definitely survive. But it's doubtful that she survives intact.

On an irrelevant side-note, my impressions blog is up. That's not to say she won't recover. When i brought up the possability of the healing properties of one's aura, i meant that it could be used to aid in Weiss's recovery. Right now, she's down for the count. However, after the shitstorm passes, and she gets some medical attention, recovers from her shock and finally regains consciousness, she'll probably wind up laying in her bed and reading a book or watching TV while recovering from her wound. That's when one's aura can be used to aid in the process. Speaking of which, the liver can grow back completely so long as 25% of the liver is still in tact. It's safe to say that cinder didn't take out the entire liver, so it could grow back or be replaced with a new one. C"mon, you really don't think they have hospitals or medics in Mistral? Like i said, it will take time, but she'll get back on her feet eventually.
