There doesn't seem to be any drawbacks or "charging time" to prevent the user from instakilling their opponents. There is also the question of what the user does with material they absorb? Does it make the user stronger? Or does it have some negative effect on the user?

I know you used Fiona as your inspiration, but perhaps it would make sense if your semblance allowed the user to superheat their blade? You would get that "can cut through anything" aspect and there wouldn't be the problem of matter just disappearing to nothingness. Plus there would be some ways to block the attack, like materials with high melting temperature and maybe ice dust.
