Sorry if this is a repeat. I couldn't find similar in the previous posts.

Say I had an images power I'll build it as

Sight Group, Normal Touch and Normal Hearing Images Increased Size (256" radius; +2), +/-3 to PER Rolls (75 Active Points)

and make an image of a small building.

Now lets say a normal human walked into the building. he would be able to open and shut the door, hear it slam, knock on the wall to see its made of plaster and wood. The walls and doors are opaque, and you cannot see out of the windowless sides.

by all appearances its a normal building, but you cannot see out or from one side to another. doesn't that mimic darkness?

should it be built as darkness instead? but darkness doesn't have the general ability to react to actions, or have the details that images have.
how does this work with the rule that one power shouldn't mimic another?

I don't have any book to refer to, or I'd be reading it to find my answer.

It's not really mimicing another Power.

Images: A wall will act like a wall under all situations.

Some major differences (using the Sight Sense)
People can inside the Images Field - you can not see inside a Darkness Field
People can see into/out of an Images field (in the case of the building that'd be windows, open doors, etc) - you not see into or out of a Darkness field
Images creates objects within an area - Darkness blankets an area (as default).
