Talk:Weiss Schnee/@comment-4010415-20160710050729

So, Jaden pointed out there was a purple glow when Weiss made the black glyph under Bolin and Nadir in Round One. I got a screenshot of it.

We now know from RWBY Chibi that, most likely, purple Dust is gravity. Myrtenaster has a vial of purple Dust in its revolver.

Here's the thing. I do not think that black glyphs are necessarily gravity glyphs. This seems to be the first time we've seen a black glyph have a purple glow effect, after all. She even made a black glyph a little earlier in the same episode, and there was no purple glow then. So, I think she was combining purple Dust with the glyph.

A pretty good sign that she really was using Dust with this glyph is the fact that she swung Myrtenaster around and then stabbed it into the ice before making this glyph. She has a tendency to swing Myrtenaster or rotate its revolver when she's about to use Dust. I really wish they'd give us a better signifier than that, such as Myrtenaster glowing whatever color she's using, but eh. (Sorry Tumblr users, this gif's file size is too big for Tumblr. Bleh.)
