1) Introduction: Able to activate or deactivate dust to a certain degree

2) Able to throw and detonate dust crystals like grenades and activate dust from 10 feet.

3) Able to jam guns or stop bullets from dust cartridges. Range extends to 15 feet.

4) Able to control certain devices/machines powered by dust. Range extends to 20 feet.

5) Limitations: Must be aware of dust prescence

6) user leaves themselves open while jamming guns,

7) and can only affect so many weapons at once 1) I'm 300% sure that you don't need a Semblance to do that.

2) Why the hell would you need to use a Semblance just to throw Dust Crystals? Just use your freaking hand, you bozo....

3) I understand the "jamming guns" part since it would prevent the Dust from being used to fire the bullet......but how the hell does it stop bullets in the cartridges? How the hell does "activation/deactivation of Dust" stop bullets?

At the very most, it would prevent a Dust-filled bullet from exploding on impact or something. But not stop the bullet itself. Bullets themselves aren't made of Dust, and even if they were you cannot make them stop moving or anything just by activating/deactivating the Dust.

4) How? The Semblance only activates/deactivates Dust, how the fuck does that also allow the user to become a magical Hacker?

5) Almost everything in Remnant has or uses Dust, so this is pretty useless as a limitation.

6) How and why? How would using the Semblance leave them open while jamming guns, and why the hell does it only do that while jamming guns but not while doing any of the other stuff it can do?

7) "So many weapons" doesn't really tell us anything.

All that said, this is very OP by the simple fact that Dust is Everything in Remnant. It's their gunpowder, so all guns have Dust. Some ammo and cartridges are filled with Dust. Even clothing and blades can be infused with (or even be) Dust.

And since Dust is literally the only source of energy they bother using, Dust is literally on just about every single tiny little device everywhere one way or another.

Which means that even at Tier 1, the user of something like this could destroy a whole city Watch_Dogs style just by walking. They could make literally anything explode or (somehow) control it and do whatever they want, because everything has Dust.
