I think they said that'll try explaining it in volume 7. They'll have a conversation about different people having similar semblances.

But basically it's: "two semblances can have the same power, but a different visual effect"

You could make a character that has a speed semblance but the visual effect is snowflakes. That would be a unique semblance.

As far a similar semblances go, we've had Yang and Adam, where both absorb damage and use it to strike back (though yang takes damage, while adam blocks damage). And Blake and Sun, both create clones that can then help them by pusing and moving them around, or distracting the enemy, while the visual is clearly distinct.

We also have Carmine that has telekinesis like Glynda, but it's much weaker
