Hmm…so you use glyph and elemental as well…however the other 3 seem more related to their purpose, while all of mine are more related to their mechanics, so I think mine have less of a chance to cross over into multiple categories.

For instance a semblance that lets you makes bubbles (bare with me here). It would technically fit under elemental, but since you can use them to put one around your head and swim underwater it’s also utility, and if he can compact the bubble and shoot it, it turns into an air explosion, so it’s offensive as well.

Or what about a semblance that hardens aura? Than not only would it instantly fit under both defensive and offensive, since the user can make a gauntlet to block better AND punch harder, but it also doubles as utility since you can temporary make knives, forks, keys, etc.

On that note wouldn't all Glyph based semblances in general double as utility, or are more of a subset of them?
