^"Yang doesn't absorb energy, she gets stronger the more damage she receives (not the same. At all). Her catching fire could be perfectly natural, just part of her semblance. I mean, Ruby leaves rose petals out of nowhere when using her semblance, and Weiss can create glyphs (in case you didn't know, she only makes glyphs, their effects depend on the Dust she uses), Pyrrha has freaking magnetism. For Yang to get on fire when angry, without Dust in the equation, it's perfectly reasonable" ___________________________________________________________ absorbs energy, has damage done to her converted to energy, same difference, doesn't matter much, we both know what I meant, and yes ruby spawns roses that do absolutely nothing, whereas the closest thing to a mage(Wiess) has to infuse dust into her glyphs for spells(and specifically elemental spells) Blake needs to do the same yet for some reason you discount the possibility that Yangs hair is a dust effect?

I specifically remember the WOR: dust saying that infusing dust into oneself increases power not control, and with Yangs semblance turning damage into power it seems plausible the user would want to light themselves on fire.

and my "hypothesis" does not need to be proven, it just needs possibility. Why? because I was disproving another "hypothesis" that has just as little proof, for all we know RWBY follows no known form of genetic creation. besides, I was adding a possibility, I just do not like "no way" being presented as the only answer, there is a way, and it technically might not be the only one.
