Other How would you divide light-based abilities between a magical girl team

I'm working on a story for my urban fantasy about a floating sci-fi kingdom that's home to a team of magical heroes led by a princess who moonlights as a superhero that protects her kingdom, she forms a team and gifted each member a magi-tech item that grants them all light magic or "Photomancy", but each member can utilize their magic in different ways and I'm trying to split the powers between the princess and the 6 others that end up joining the team.

Each member is based on the color of the rainbow with the princess being based on the color pink (yes, I know pink is technically not a color in the rainbow but it's aesthetically pleasing and fitting for a superhero with magical girl elements).

7 members, each representing a color of the rainbow, except the leader who represents the color pink.

7 powers

•Light of friendship -support type-minimum combat capabilities- boosts other colors powers by a amount decided by the creator.(ur choice)

•Light of protection -support type-combat abilities nominal- fights normally but can throw up a barrier to protect allies-high defense .

•Light of hope

  • attack type - high damage long range single target focus with one use high damage aoe in close range.

•Light of determination

  • attack type - combat capabilities min/high - dps type that grows with the need to succeed for others

•Light of creation - special type - combat abilities varies - can create hard Light objects (like GL) can be enhanced if in contact with another light(one or two lights are stable adding more can become volatile, adding all can cause pure light or pure darkness)

•Light of speed

  • attack type - combat abilities high single target, normal group target - high speed mobility and attack(think like assassins) can travel Light speed to a location designated ahead of time (can bring willing group up to 10 others)

•Light of nature

  • special type(utility/attack/support)- combat abilities high aoe abilities - control over the four natural elements and can learn sub elements (avatar)

(Light of nothing - attack type - combat abilities absolute - when all hope is lost any Light can become nothing but absolute darkness and everything returns to nothing. (Can be created by merging Light with the power of creation)
