Plasma is different from a laser. Plasma is basically just hot gas, and a laser is energy.

Without some housing to heat, guide and control it, plasma will simply cool too fast to be used, and diffuse too much to be effective anyway.

A laser just requires a lot of energy, which you can supply with Aura.

If you really want something like plasma fingers, then the closest you can probably get is just to superheat the claws. That's much simpler, far from OP, and can be done with dust to save the semblance for something else.
