While the sheer amount of words you chose to utilize makes a very poignant point, you've missed the core reason why Semblances that manipulate Aura are not allowed.

You've well and done defining what a Semblance is, and how it's tied to Aura, two things we already know.

Neither of those are the reason for the ruling.

The ruling exists specifically for Semblances that tweak, affect, or otherwise screw over the Auras of other targets, or the user in decidedly Overpowered ways.

To keep it simple, say Someguy Redford has a Semblance that simply overloads and disables someones Aura. It seems like a simple enough power....except when you realize that without an Aura, a human is no more durable physically than say, one of those robots in the Black trailer, or a Grimm in any of the episodes we've seen. Squishy, one-hit wonders.

This turns the character into an incredibly overpowered fighter on concept. This, and the myriad of other examples, is what and why the rule is defined as it is.

Now, this thread has, and will usually be, ignored in terms of what people say/ask here. Nobody watches it in all seriousness. If you have any sort of specific questions about the rules/guidelines, take it to a Staff members wall to sort out, or head to the Chatroom to inquire the details within. If you reply here, specifically towards me, I can assure you I won't be reading it. It took enough effort to reply to the inane debate you two were having as it is.
