Cinder's a fire mage (or whatever the rwby equivalent of "mage" is, and the dust they were stealing was burn dust, so maybe Cinder wants to supercharge herself and unleash molten hell upon the world? Not sure what they'll do specifically, but the burn dust (and dust in general) is a power source, and I think that Cinder is the one who'll use that power.
