@Geist That is valid, I didn't consider the Eye, although I don't know if it's necessary for Semblance and summoning the knife. I always thought of the artifacts as having their own connection to the Void apart from the Outsider, which is why he arms (no pun intended) Billie with them to make her choice in killing or saving him. This way, her power wasn't bound to him and she wouldn't be swayed against "saving" him from the Void. I then assumed her inability to use them properly after his disapearance was psychological in part. Granted, I haven't read the books so I'm probably missing a bit.
