1.That still doesn’t change the fact it does nothing without dust. You had semblances that do stuff TO dust, which I gave a pass because those are the equivalent of Ruby trying to run with her legs amputated. But this one specifically uses dust as a fuel in order to work, something none of the confirmed semblances DO. What does, however, use dust as a fuel are most of Cinders attacks, and none of them, as far as I know, count as her semblance.

2.We have Blake doing an aura slash. Now imagine that done with a thrusting weapon with a narrow tip and a thrusting maneuver. And now she did you’re would be semblance, without having that as a semblance…speaking of Blake… episode 10 of volume 2 does give hints to support the notion that semblances are tied to personalities, and this semblance is so…impersonal, so to speak, I can’t help but see it as something achievable through training, as opposed to a character signature.
