Jaune: So Pyr, what's your theory?
Pyrrha: Well, as you say this is still only a theory. But after the events of last night, I believe Jaune's Semblance, or I should say the Semblance of the man that Jaune dreams of, is control.
Nora: Control? What kind of vague power is that?
Pyrrha: It was the best name I could think of. Regardless, it aptly describes what Jaune can do. Whenever Jaune uses his abilities, he is exerting his will over something. For example, his telekinesis is him exerting his will over an object, controlling it.
Ren: In the Forever Fall. When you healed yourself Jaune. You said you were using your semblance to force your wounds closed, exerting control over your own body.
Pyrrha: And last night, what you did to Weiss. That is an example of you exerting your will over someone else.

"Devil Fruits give powers based around a word. From there, their users can exploit that word to the utmost, pushing it to its limit, and finding copious ways to exploit them. The stupid and ineffective users, they'd do like Usopp did: they'd focus on the obvious effect, the obvious usage of their powers. Now, that might cut it for users out in the Blue Seas... but the ones here, here in the Grand Line? They're the dangerous ones. The strong ones. The smart ones. They're the ones who embrace every aspect of their words and use them to the utmost. They take the words 'paw', 'string', 'love' and 'sand'... And they use those words to maintain their positions as Warlords."

"If it's all a matter of perspective, then I can do anything," Lindon continued, letting his thoughts guide his words. "I could move the mug by emptying the shelf of the mug. Could I heal someone by emptying them of injuries?"
That sounded ridiculous, but maybe that was how Sages worked.
"That sounds ridiculous," Eithan said, and once again Lindon wondered if the man was reading his mind.

"My only magical ability is that I can make a ball disappear under a cup. I know that doesn't seem that impressive. But keep in mind I can do this with any cup. And any ball. Like, for example, the sun."
