Hello. I have an unpublished fanon I wrote prior to finding this site, and I've noticed a few bits are shaky according to the wiki's rules. Mostly in regards to Semblances. Here's some of the issues I'm iffy on.

Velocity Control: Manipulates the kinetic energy of moving objects. Can bend, reverse, stop, or accelerate an object's flight, or impart motion onto resting objects. Can be used to increase mobility, offense, or defense by increasing the user's kinetic energy or decreasing that of an opponent. - - I'm unsure if the Semblance should require "loading" by absorbing kinetic energy to fuel it's use, or if it ought to be fueled by Aura directly, which could allow it to recharge the user by absorbing kinetic energy.

Elemental Kinesis: I have a team composed of an Earth, Lightning, Fire, and Ice wielder. The Earth and Lightning users each wield a pair of duplicate weapons, which count as one, so they're basically fine. But the Fire and Ice users each have a primary weapon(Duplicate weapons that join into staffs) and a shield. How can I configure their Semblances to avoid going over the weapon limit?

Adena Byrd(Pheonix motif): The Fire user mentioned above, who poses the most complex issue. Both her weapon and shield may violate weapon policies. The weapon is Homa(Firebird), an pair of short swords which can join end-to-end at the pommel, and come equipped with Fire Dust crystals in the guards to catalyze her Semblance. Homa can remain onehanded when joined together, or extend the hilts in this configuration to make a true sword-staff. It can also currently extend the blades independently of the hilts(Making short/short, long/short, long/long configurations in staff mode), allowing Homa to be a set of longswords when seperated. Does this trait violate weapon mode limits? The shield, Benu(Firebird), has an integrated grenade launcher, and two front blades. The inert form of the shield has the sides folded against the launcher and blades retracted, with the entire assembly sliding behind the hand on the bracer it's mounted on. When active, the shield slides over the hand and the blades extend to form claws. The sides can also unfold into a full shield, with the launcher being usable in both active states. Adena later upgrades it to attach to the prosthetic arm she recieves early in the plot. As the shield and prosthesis, which has a Dust chamber to help channel her Semblance, are combined, does this fulfill weapon policies?
