Now, I am of the opinion that the glyphs like Cinder's and Glynda's are what Dust magic actually looks like when being used properly - a 'magic circle' as it were. I can't remember if Weiss's glyphs actually have the scrawling almost-words like the circles do, but if they don't then it highly suggests that Weiss goes straight to her semblance for casting dust (because it is easier for her), and not through the standard channels - that of creating a circle with her aura.
