Its not aura stealing. From the descriptions it seems somewhat similar to Yang's semblance. He absorbs the incoming kinetic energy from attacks and then uses that against his opponents, generally through his sword. He can build this up and use it in a devastating single attack, like he did against Yang. However like it says it seems that it does take some time to prepare to do it, when he was working with Blake he told her to buy him some time. It can be assumed then that he knew Blake would be coming after him and prepared it prior to her arrival. He then absorbed her attacks and was more than likely planning to use it against her, however when Yang showed up he knew that hurting Yang would end up hurting Blake more than if he actually dealt damage to Blake herself.
