Honestly, if you ask me, you could just make it that the semblance creates constructs, and the hard light dust makes it solid. That's just me tweaking it minimally.

A lot like what Blake did in the train in V2. She can create clones, but they disappear, but when she used dust they became and stayed solid. True but the reason why i decided to go with a Weapon that can created constructs rather then just a semblance that does it is rather simple. Constructs are cool but you can also extremely overpowered with them - like take Green Lantern for example. He can literally do anything the plot demands and when it comes to constructs you are risking the possibilty of the charcter becoming OP.

Having the weapon not only have a limited types of constructs that he can create but also these constructs come about because of hard-light dust which is a tangilable thing in the RWBY Universe - balances it a bit. Plus i had to balance it even further by making all but 1 or 2 of the constructs defensive and support orientated not for attacking. The Lantern form is basically a weapon desigened to provide ranged support and protecting allies.
