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 I have seen this before....both in Bleach and Naruto. Cool idea though XD
 * User(s): Kahlua Reyes
 * 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

Also I'd suggest that when using the Wind Dust to allow the fog to be larger than the sphere could be. (therefore bigger than 20ft in diameter.) And to be dispersable like true fog, thus constantly growing. outwards, and thicker and thicker the closer you get to it's center. Thus you could kind of use it as a stealth mode....rather than having a bubble appear out of nowhere, this gradual visibility change would make it so that those entering it don't realise that it's in fact someone's semblance.

This would probably balance out the use of wind dust against it's draw back that Faunus can see through it...because if you only had that draw back then there would be no advantage to actually using wind dust.
