That I can get behind. As an aura technique that needs charging, a blade that takes a bit to create would naturally be stronger than ones that are spammed at 3-per-second.

But Qrow's aura blade was huge and tore up the ground. Blake's did as well against Roman on the train. They were both connected to the ground but way more power than a normal non-charged Blade. We've even seen Blake perform spam-beams mid jump in Moubtain Glenn, which aren't connected to the ground at all.
