Just some random thoughts about the Four Maidens...And their power...

When Ozpin telling Pyrrha the Four Maidens really exist, he seemed to have stressed they possess power which can be activated "without Dust"... And also Glynda stated the Four Maidens are living fantasies for a long long time... So it appeared to imply that the Four Maidens started before Dusts are discovered?

And when Pyrrha replied Ozpin "Like...Semblance?", Ozpin did not approve or disapprove, instead he said "Like magic"(and I believe "magic" is not an often-heard word so far in RWBY). Is it possible that the Maidens' powers, though still bound to their aura, work slightly different than usual Semblance (or Ozpin believed so)?
