They explicitly distinguish between Dust, Aura, and the power of the seasons, and then go so far as to set up rules as for how the power of the seasons is passed on.

Nothing at all suggests it could wielded or learned by anyone other than the current possessors. I don't think they explicitly point out that it is a specific power in any sense? The seasons thing appeared to be a thematic reference. What they did explicitly state though is that it's an ability to wield pure magic instead of Dust (where I believe Pyrrha also interjected and said, like aura/semblance) making it incredibly powerful. That's about it. I don't see how anyone else cannot also wield pure magic and be just as powerful as a maiden.

Further, a guy gave them the power. I can't see how you can be a source of something you yourself don't possess, it's a logical impossibility, unless we're going the entire "blessings" route... The whole point of the story is that this is a unique power no one else in the world has (and when I say power of the seasons, I'm referring to the magic they have, as is literally everyone else on this wiki that who has used that phrase in reference to the magic).

The old man and his ability and the nature of the power is a mystery, but outright trying to say that anyone could learn to use it is a currently untrue statement, and one with no current basis to make, even if it later turns out to be true.

Just cause you think something might be true, doesn't mean it is true.

And the whole thing with Pyrrha mentioning Aura was her thinking that Ozpin was talking about semblance when he said wielding power without Dust, before he corrects her and tells her that it's magic.
