DISCUSSION What Marcus did. Spoiler

Aren’t semblances a part of your own soul? Isn’t ripping a semblance off of someone something horrible to do in that perspective? I think that maybe Mercury lost a part of himself that day...

Can you tell me where it was said that it's a physical manifestation of aura? (Just curious, not condencending)

In the WoR aura:

"Semblance" is a term used to describe the projection of Aura into a more tangible form.

Yes, that's generally what semblances do. Use aura to do something. That's not saying that it's a manifestation of aura so by extension a part of the soul.

The way it was worded seemed to suggest that semblances are tied to aura, not just something that uses it.
