That's kinad the thing. I wanna avoid making a generic speedster like the flash.

I wanna make something similar to Weiss, where the semblance does something basic and dust can be used to augment the abilities. And having speed is only a small part of the power that is used only in special cases, not it being the main ability. Because spamming speed is annoying and overpowered and I have a different idea for the character.

Maybe wind dust can be used for a long jump. Earth dust could be used to make a defence layer over the user and makes them heavier so they can't be blown away.

I just don't know what the base ability without the dust would be. Or what the other dust types would do.

And I chose lightning dust only because Weiss used it in her Haste spell. I didn't really think of lightning effects like the flash.
