lol.

I guess XD. Nora does seem to be the type for this sort of thing.

But see, the thing is that we know she's going to use the hammer to smash something anyway in one way or another. Thats what you're supposed to do. Like how in some action movies, the protagonist simply pulls out a gun and shoots, yet no one bothers to name such an action as we are attuned to it throughout the thrill of the fight anyway; its a constantly recognizable and basic action if you get me.

The actions of the RWBY cast, to me anyway, are something close to that. All basic functions of their world's weapons. A gun shoots. A scythe cuts. A gunscythe shoots and cuts. Giving a dramatic name to each shot/slash made...Would be like giving a dramatic name to every single shot fired by a regular soldier. And there is no way in hell I'm naming every single one of Ruby's minute movements. Ruins the natural "flow"; for lack of a better term on my part.

At best, I suppose we could name Weiss' "spells"; though I wonder if its just all basic application of her Dust-utilizing weapon. Like bullets in a gun, instead its Dust in the Myrtenaster. You might name the bullets. But not many would give a name to shooting it.
