Well, apparently I am the only one commenting on this thread at the moment. And now I feel sorta bad because this is three decent length posts in a row. Oh well.

this is a minor tweak to an old semblance: basically I just added that the user can see through the darkness she creates. But I have been told 'that makes it OP right off the bat' and that I should make the 'sees through the darkness she creates' a second tier ability instead of a first tier ability. So what do you guys think.

Blackout

 * Type: Aural
 * Purpose: Utility
 * Short description: The user creates a pocket of darkness with their aura
 * Visual effect: A sphere of darkness appears, obscuring everything inside from view.
 * Range: Medium
 * General limitations: Area is only 20ft (6.09m) in diametre, but will grow with practise. Pocket is stationary.
 * Passive ability(s) (if any): User can see through the darkness as though wearing a pair of heavily tinted sunglasses.
 * Active ability: Tier One: Creates a pocket of darkness where she wills it. Darkness cannot be penetrated by Faunus nightvision.
 * Dust interaction (Fire): Pocket ignites if someone other than her enters it
 * Dust interaction (Earth): Creates a hard, earthen shell around the pocket
 * Dust interaction (Ice): creates a spiked, icy shell around the pocket
 * Dust interaction (Lightning): Shocks anyone other than herself who enters it
 * Dust interaction (Wind): Disperses the sphere into a fog that obscures vision, though lessons the level of darkness. Faunus can now see through the darkness
