I mean you don't even need another kind of Dust to make a pressurized water jet; since Dust tends to activate quite forcefully to begin with. Just a tank connected to a pressure nozzle.

Water is a severely underappreciated element offensively.

They never really define 'life', by the way. Sure, they're organic; but as far as we know trees and grass don't really think; they have no sense of self. They soak up nutrients, water, and sunlight; grow, pop out seeds or spores, then either die or start over again.

Animals migrate and evolve; learn to create things or solve complex problems.

Taking a long road to get to a short idea; it's possible that aura-bearing life is based more on intelligence than on simply being an organic thing.

A lot of the supposed 'retcons' in RWBY are actually just things being explained very very very badly the first time they're introduced.
