As Gastro and Chish say, the Schnees can effectively use dust, but it's not like as if they could freeze things with their bare hands. We haven't seen what the other three Maidens can do either, and I am pretty sure that if you're a Maiden, you would know it. As we saw from Amber's death, the powers appeared in a fiery gold glow and were pulled out of Amber into Cinder. It's a pretty visible thing, and you also saw Cinder's brief transformation - therefore, I don't believe that Weiss or Winter for that matter have any sort of magic.

It's an interesting theory you've got there, but as Ozpin and co. have said - they've never seen the power split before like that, which implies that the Maiden power usually passes on as a whole from one person to the other, ignoring other factors such as if the Maiden had a child.
