Okay, sorry to have puzzled anyone, but I started this exactly because I wanted thoughts on the Schnee family being mages, as Velvet is said to be.

Just how does magery work in Remnant? We're told Velvet's a mage but we don't see her working magic; the bunny leap and her box of goodies in 'Breach' don't seem to be magical either.

So are the Schnees and their glyphs a species of magery? Is magic Dust-driven? Is Weiss using her rapier and dust actually casting magic, but it's not spelled out? How special are Weiss and Winter, and what makes them that?

Yeah, there are lots of magic circles in fiction, which is why Illyana is referred to. Also Lila Cheney and Spiral, to stick with the X-Men. So is Weiss a classic magic-user? Anyone?
