Hey. Its been a while since I made a thread. Anyways, just some additions and revisions for some abilities.
First, Ren needs Stealth Mastery as his Semblance makes him invisible to Grimm. However, as its only limited to Grimm and not people, it should be limited.
Next, an additional feat for Penny's resistance to Extreme Cold, as she was able to pass through Fria's ice vortex which instantly burned Winter's hand. She should also have a resistance to Corrosion from this pic, as it states that her sealant coating prevents 99% of rust. Finally for her, this pic should be an additional feat for her intelligence.
Next up is Regeneration. We currently have Aura granting Mid-Low regeneration. However, the only ones who have shown this level are Hazel, who rapidly healed from impalement and Jaune, who's Semblance amped Weiss' to also heal from impalement, and for both of them, the reason given is their high Aura reserves. As such, Aura's regeneration should be downgraded to Low, for healing minor wounds such as cuts and black eyes. Though for the above two, I don't know if their current level is good or it should be Low-Mid instead due to healing from the above impalements.
Aura should grant resistance to Transmutation. In the novel Before the Dawn, one of the characters shown was a professor named Rumple, who's Semblance allows her to turn things she touches into gold. Later in the book, she fights Neptune, Fox, and Yatsuhashi after being brainwashed by the main antagonist and uses her Semblance on them. However, when she grabs (p147) Neptune, even touching him multiple times, the only thing she is able to change is his clothes, showing that Aura prevents transmutation.
My last point regards Cinder and Salem's Power Absorption. They currently have it since the former actively tries to steal Maiden powers and the latter both made them and uses them. However, after a recent rewatch of the earlier volumes, I noticed that Cinder when stealing the powers from Amber, only did so when her Aura was broken. Though Maidens as seen are still capable of using their powers. Yet after receiving her Shadow Hand, when fighting Maidens, she no longer breaks their Aura first before trying to steal it, instead the Hand is able to do so even with their Aura shield up, seemingly bypassing Aura entirely. This is noted even on the RWBY wiki, as it states:
When the Aura of a Maiden is depleted, they appear vulnerable to having their abilities stolen, as shown when Cinder Fall first broke Amber's Aura before using the glove on her to sap her powers. Although after receiving her Shadow Hand, that is no longer the case for her and could now siphon it directly.
As such, the two should have Enhanced Power Absorption instead, though for Cinder it should only be for her Shadow Hand.
Edit: Adding a minor point mentioned, Ruby should have Limited Instinctive Action, as when using her Semblance to duplicate herself to go around a pillar, she mentions not really that she doesn't really think about it when doing so.
