If I leave it at "generate light", it can only do the third thing either through very specific application of the first thing, or through the assistance of an outside tool (such as a physical weapon). What I'm talking about is a Semblance that is inherently able to do such things all in one (in this case, a Semblance that is inherently able to let the user shoot laser beams, as opposed to a weapon that utilizes the Semblance in a very specific way to achieve the same result).

One of those things is unimaginative and overpowered in comparison to other Semblances. The other achieves roughly the same level of strength, but does so in a clever way that doesn't make the character ridiculously powerful even without their weapons or armor.
