None of the earlier issues were addressed. Character still posesses above-average stats in most combat abilities, making them very overpowered for their level.

And as for the semblance, a power-up in more than one aspect is a little overpowered (Ruby JUST has speed when she taps into her Semblance, and Yang embues herself with Fire, and it's not even known if she in fact receives a strength/speed/whatever boost, or simply just pushes herself to fight harder from anger.) As for the telekinesis aspect of it, to elaborate on my earlier point:

Pyrrha has said, in canon, that weapons act as a conduit of ones Aura. And from what we've seen, melee attacks are *MUCH* more potent than simply shooting things, which goes against typical physics. A 50 calibur rifle would outright DESTROY things a sword wouldn't even scratch, and things like Noras explosives and Blake/Pyrrha/Rens conventional bullets would likewise do INCREDIBLE damage.

Because weapons act as a conduit of Aura, ones Aura sharpens the blade. Makes the weapon strong, sharp, and powerful enough to damage things bullets won't even scratch. This is why characters that throw or otherwise stay "detached' from their weapons either have a way to EASILY retrieve them (Pyrrha using Magnetism semblance) or have something that has them remaining tethered to their weapon. (Blakes ribbon on her Gambol Shroud, Pennys strings on her Myriad Blades.)

Having your weapon float around you with ANY sort of method that has no physical attachment is not only something we havn't seen in canon thus far, but chances are, due to the aformentioned stuff, it'd be incredibly WEAK if you infact did pull it off. (And yes, the only three times Pyrrha has thrown her spear it's either to stick into a wall, a tree, or a VERY critically weak and squishy spot on a Grimm.)

As such, Rejected again.
