Like, Weiss's semblance can do a bunch of various things, so if I made a kitsune-based semblance that primarily involved manipulating fire, but also teleporting via fire and fire-based illusions, as those are typical kitsune powers, would that be kosher? Think of it as: Ruby has super speed. She can turn herself into a Rubynado. Blake can make after images- she can bait people and cast Dust into them.

Weiss has her glyphs- Time Dilation seems to be a side-effect of her glyphs, but using Weiss as an example is so dicey because we still don't know what exactly Schnees are capable of aside Winter being a showoff.

tl;dr: ONE ability that extends into multiple uses is good. One ability that extends into multiple other abilities is bad.
