RWBY: Emerald's Semblance

255

(still fairly new to some of this stuff, so if this isn't something to ask here, my apologies)

Currently, on Emerald's profile (here), her Semblance is listed as "Illusion Creation/Mind Manipulation". However, based on what we know of the Semblance, that seems incorrect. I think it fits more along the lines of Perception Manipulation.

The Semblance works like this: Emerald is, when focusing on her target, able to alter their real-time senses sight and sound. She can make them see and hear things that aren't there, like Pyrrha seeing Penny's swords duplicate, or alter something in their mind, like when she made Yang see Mercury leaping to attack when all he was doing was standing there, or made Amber see her as a crying child.

However, these only affect the person she us focused on. She doesn't create or alter something to fool perception, but she changes their perception itself. While Mind Manipulation may still fit, I do think that it doesn't really fit the bill of Illusion Creation.
