Yea, its pretty obvious that was the last one I specified and I was too tired to come up with a better explanation....but that ripping it to pieces makes sense. Do you have any ideas on how to categorize orange light, because thats all the gem abilities and aspects I could think of at the time. And how would the color wheel thing work?

Yes, I completely agree. I see main characters with enough powers and items to just rule the world, and I do not want that. That's why I'm keeping my primary character for the lights, Padparadscha, with as few powers as possible. All she gets is her big sword, past vision, high speed talking, and the power of heart....

Tonguestone was a gem that formed during an eclipse (from another users fanon, combined with beliefs about tonguestones), and so they were the first to see the prism which happenned to appear nearby. Tonguestone's main ability was to harmonize or break synchrony with other gems (a reference to some hypontism works I've read), and so when he met the lights and touched it, he unintentionally harmonized and fused. After he fell and the loghts shatterred and scatterred, he learned how to use his own light affinity to create spectral magic. The source of this universal light affinity is that out of all the lights, a single white light ray resided within him still, which would adjust to give single affinities at a given time.

Bejeweled priestesses would be fully capable of using a light if they had an affinity yes. However, affinities generally require use of spectral magic for more advanced abilities, so they would have to put in time if they wished to gain mastery over it, which would be difficult given their other duties. As for interference, i would imagine they would work like oil and water, they wouldn't cancel but they won't combine or mix or clash well. However, I might remember that some of those in that pantheon had color connections, and so matching the color might help with using them both, combining them, or canceling it.
