@Sentry: Can you call it a Summon when it's not even a complete piece of the full figure (like the arm, or the sword)? Can you say you are capable of Summoning something when you fail at consciously performing a Summon of at least a part?

@Spirit: 1-A partial but physically-complete Summon....not one that's barely physical, one that's just faint. The former may be, say, just the arm of the Knight. While the Summon may be incomplete, the arm in itself is physically complete. Different from this.

2-Has Ice ever been Translucent too in V2?

3-With the Glyphs, there's 2 problems in your argument. 1) V3 had superior budget and effort put into it. Which means changes in effects and stuff.

And 2) The Summons. When they appeared in V3, both Weiss and Winter were making fully-conscious attempts at doing them, in a physically-complete and solid form.

So, what says the Glyphs wouldn't look different when the Summons are not being performed Consciously, and the Summon itself isn't even physically-complete, when it's very existence is Faint at best. (Weiss being rather low on Aura from getting her ass kicked by Bane and fighting most of the day beforehand could've influenced that too).

(With the case of the Pumba in V4, ignoring superior lighting and special effects, it was at least physically complete).

4-An alternative I thought up while writing this:

We know Semblances and Dust can be combined. So, what if the sword looks like that because Ice Dust was added to the mix? It looks translucent because it's not physically complete. The Ice Dust covers the faint sword, making it solid despite being incomplete.

In other words, it would not be a sword made of Ice, it's a (barely-existing) sword covered in Ice.
