Thanks!

Ok yes the discs are essentialyl Chakram, I just was blanking on the name

The bow has little aluminium fins which fold out from the spine of the blades (they're concealed behind the spine but the blades themselves are solid) which combined with the wheels that pop out from their grooves in the sides of the blades increase the draw weight w/o increasing overall length too much

Interestingly, in Rome (which had the most famous gladitorial fighting in the world) only about 4% of gladiator fights would actually end in a death. Usually if the crowd voted for death they would just fake the gladiator's execution and then have him come back under an alias (remember a lot of the gladiatior helmets completely covered the face), and they would only usually let the gladiator die if they were a criminal (gladiators recruited from criminals were treated far worse than those who were slaves, POWs, or volunteers) or were just really shitty. The gladiator fights in the Mistral arenas were based on skill, experience and win-loss ratio and were only occasionally to the death (most deaths were accidental).

The semblance recharges him in a very short amount of time, only taking 30 seconds at most (which only happens if his aura is almost entirely depleted and he hasn't built up a lot of adreniline). However, this battery takes 50% longer to recharge than his normal aura and can only be recharged after his aura is filled up.
