Here's a ridiculous idea.
Jaune Arc's Semblance... Is a bit unique. In that it isn't even a Semblance, persay. Or if it is, it's one of the most powerful and horrifying ones around.
His mother's experimentation to save him had her going to Nana Arturia, who got an old friend to help out. An old friend who helped out with some ancient knowledge and artifacts.
It seemed that there were no side effects and he grew up happy and healthy. But he had issues. For instance, he had friends who seemed to be forgotten the next day. And he claimed there were things here and there... That weren't there when others saw it. Or, he was confused when people talked about people he had no idea about, even though he'd known them for years.
It wasn't until he was older he started to piece together some of what had happened. And he kept it secret because he was afraid. When he gets to Beacon... He's learned how to use his power in small ways. Because the risks of using it in big ways are too terrible. And even then, he's terrified about using it on big things... Because the last time he did?
He now got another sister... Where before she had never existed.
He can make things and people appear and disappear. Erase them or summon them into existence. The problem is, he doesn't do it just for them now. He does it for them in the past and the future.
He once erased a Grimm attacking Radian, his hometown, from reality. That required a massive amount of power and put him in a coma, but the town was saved.
But that changed the timeline. That Grimm never existed. So all the attacks it had made in the past never happened. One of those attacks, his father stopped and fought and got serious injured in. Because of this, he had to recover for months in the hospital.
Instead in this timeline? He never fought it, so he got home to Isabel and they had sex and had another child as they had hoped to. So now Jaune has an EIGHTH sister. But he doesn't remember her because he is isolated from the changes in the timeline.
Small things like injuries or broken items that had that happen to them minutes or hours ago? He can fix, and only the person he "healed" is aware of the change. Everyone else doesn't remember it. But the longer ago something happened or the more influence someone has had on the timeline, the bigger the changes will be if Jaune messes with them.
But you can see why Jaune is terrified of using this Semblance. He knows that reality CAN be changed, but he doesn't know all the ways it CAN be.
And once others find out... He is the most wanted man on Remnant.
But he cannot let his power be used. Especially not by Salem. Salem will demand he undo her immortality. And if that happens? The entire timeline will be erased, along with everyone he ever knew and loved.
(Yes it's rather like Tusk from JoJo, but it's not the only inspiration).
