"Magic"

"No."

This line is probably the best rule written so far, in my opinion. Though I'm a bit confused about the sudden change of heart toward transformation. Yes, Raven and Qrow achieve their transformation via magic, however I strongly feel that is irrelevant. There is an old saying about "More than one way to skin a cat." Even though Raven and Qrow achieve their transformation by magical means, they are still capable of transformation, which demonstrates it is an ability that is feasable within the world of Remnant. (I mean, old Ozzy got the idea from somewhere, or someone, right?) It just means someone who's semblance transforms them into an animal can't also make portals or cause bad luck. It doesn't skew balance of the universe, and it doesn't mean you are suddenly overpowered just because you can turn into a bear. (Although, yikes!) The twins also probabbly need the magic because matter conversion suggets they would be too dense in mass as birds to fly. (And suddenly their usefulness is gone.) So transformation (please tell me there's a clan of werewolves in the next volume) while I personally feel like it should be allowed, I also think it could do with a dash of science and keep the animal conversions within reason, i.e. similar mass and size. However, that is just my own opinion on the matter.
