Thank you for clarifying this for me. I still have some reservations on the rulings for including aura manipulation as a restriction. I can understand the viewpoint of the Moderators for wanting to ban this for balance purposes, but the ruling seems a bit too restrictive. As a suggestion, which I would understand if it is ignored, "soul and/or Aura manipulation" be changed to just "soul manipulation." This way, semblances that completely steal one's soul and are glorified "insta kills" are banned. A change like this can leave more freedom for semblances. With the current ruling, semblances are far too restricted (understandably, considering that we know close to nothing, thanks world of remnant!). Want spiritual armor? banned. Want to help your teamates recover their aura? banned. Want to enhance your friends semblance? banned. Want to be able to manipulate your aura so your existance is invisible? banned. Want to drain your own aura to gain a power boost? Once again, banned. I know it sounds like bitching but I am trying to illustrate a point. I am fine if the rules stay as they are but at least consider this. Fairness isn't fun if everyone is a cliche.

Another note: A semblance that heals wounds and injuries would be rendered useless as every fighter in rwby uses aura to take the damage. That's why Weiss didn't get cut in half by the lieutenant's chain saw and simply fell unconscious.
