Just because it foreshadows summoning doesn't mean it was actually summoning.

The sword she made in the Breach fight was made of ice. Weiss makes ice objects all the time. It's actually really common. All the time. It's not new. Or remarkable. Just because the ice object she made this time was sword-shaped doesn't mean it was an example of Summoning.

What is new and remarkable is that actual Summoning (rather than just making pieces of ice) as seen in "Lessons Learned" and "Heroes and Monsters" creates a thing that acts autonomously and actually fight for Weiss, like what we saw in the latest episode. Creating an ally with a mind of its own and fights by your side is very different to just making ice sculptures.
