Except it seems so far that semblances themselves work the same way the whole time except when paried with Dust. Maybe the semblance tree would be new things to do with your semblance through dust interactions and new facets, while the basic abilities don't change.

Or if you go for unlocking the semblance while at Beacon, you could then put points in what you want your semblance to do then the game makes a random one out of what you picked.
