And I really doubt the whole thing about using fire Dust to work with metal.

The swords were most definitely obsidian (black volcanic glass), which kinda makes sense, considering that obsidian blades are extremely sharp, perfect for smooth cuts, perfect for easily cutting deep into flesh. I stand firm that orange Dust has a high probability of being lava, which would mean Cinder uses lava Dust, not fire Dust. Besides, fire Dust is red, and her clothes haven't had a red glow, just a bright orange glow. It reminded me of a peacock, so I'll go with feathers even though they don't look exactly like feathers.

If the swords are glass, then where did the glass come from? It's still the same theory, just silica instead of metal being formed into a weapon. Her fancy markings on her dress glow yellow, which is energy, and mixed with red which is fire, there is a lot of potential energy being created. The amount probably needed to be akin to a kiln.

Magma/lava would be a mix of earth and fire or energy. From what I can tell, the only color she has that might relate to earth is the greenish blue thing on her hip.

Another reason I like the metal idea is her bullet blocking ability. If bullets are metal, and she could control metal, she could essentially disintegrate the bullet on impact, though maybe she just has an op aura or her energy/flame/magma stuff just burns it up.
