Check the power condition
The recorded Q&A says the current room must have its sockets occupied by gems to be powered. If the expected effect is absent, start by checking that room-level condition.
Match an effect to the obstacle
The narration describes separate beam effects for pushing, disrupting force fields and walking through walls. Work out which kind of obstacle blocks the route before deciding which effect you need. This evidence does not establish a complete color-to-power table.
Watch for combinations
The official overview says simultaneous beam combinations can open routes in the western Promise. Do not assume a single active effect is sufficient for every later obstacle, or turn this general rule into a solution for a board that has not been identified.
