It would also be fitting because the black glass weapons that Cinder uses most likely are obsidian. Bright orange Dust appears to be capable of generating lava, after all. The projectile that Glynda blocked from Cinder in Volume 1 Episode 1 splattered on the ground as if it was liquid. We also saw orange Dust crystals in the volcano biome in the tournament, which had lava geysers in it. And then, of course, we saw Cinder using bright orange Dust to form black glass weapons in Volume 2.

(And no, I do not believe that Cinder using Dust was retconned by the Maidens getting added to the show. Why would she openly use the Maiden powers while fighting Glynda, who knows about the Maidens, or at Beacon, the domain of Ozpin who also knows about the Maidens? She wouldn't. It was smarter to continue using Dust for the time being to keep Ozpin's group off her back because, at the time, they had no idea who attacked Amber. Either way, what she was doing in Volumes 1 and 2 was fully intended to be Dust use and are still good examples of what people can do with Dust. Sorry to blab on about this, but I've had to argue with people about this before.)
