Exactly how does that decry the theory that semblance and aura are related? I just feel we get into entirely too complicated a territory when we start saying that someone's supernatural abilities draw from separate sources. It's like saying a Jedi is telekinetic but is also of the Force and then trying to say they are telekinetic without even needing the Force. I mean, sure, there are probably alien species that could be naturally telekinetic and still be compatible with the Force, but that's a whole other box of rocks there.

I mean, the concept has been seen before. Just look at BLEACH. Ichigo's powers supposedly came from a Soul Reaper lending him her power (which he absorbed in full much to everyone's surprise)... then we find out his true power is called Fullbring. Now do his innate abilities come from being a Soul Reaper or a Fullbringer? Do we really need to address that? Not all characters are either fullbringers or soul reapers and yet Ichigo is both. Why do we have to assume a possibility Aura and Semblance are not connected?

I feel confident in the contributor's theory that the Aura has to be unlocked before Semblance can be accessed.
