The technique you are describing is very similar to the magic missile spell from various roleplaying games. See, the thing about magic missile, is that it is the one spell possesed by ALL mage classes, regardless of what other abilities they pick. That being said, it has been shown that anyone with aura can perform attacks such as a sword wave or sweard beam. Glynda, being a dedicated mage, is able to use a much more powerful form of that basic aura projectile, the magic missile. her semblance is telekinesis, unrelated to magic missile.

The form magic missile typically takes is that of a small orb, usually with a trail of some kind, much like the bolts Glynda fired. bolts that were NOT part of her semblance.

See, i made a character with a literal magic missile semblance, practically identical to what you describe, then Vedran pointed out in a blog that things like that do not require a semblance, merely the mastery over your aura to form orbs to fire off, at which point I spent some time deliberating, before changing it to the scribe semblance i submitted recently.
