Maybe. Maybe not. SYUTK thought that someone had already made the Semblance I was doing, until I looked through the list and realized it was the same effect under different mechanics.

The fact of the matter is that there's only so many completely different powers we can come up with. Eventually you'll get things that are similar, but have different effects. And eventually-eventually, you'll get two Semblances that seem the exact same, but were made by different people without either one realizing it. But you should never intentionally do something like "he can control earth and clay and soil and stuff, but he only uses it to make small weapons and doll and pottery and stuff" JUST because you think the smaller, much more sensible Semblance is "taken".
