Are they sure that the writers meant plain old dust instead of RWBY Dust? Because it seemed like, in Dance Dance Infiltration, Cinder emptied a canister of either earth Dust or sand into the air and used the orange Dust sewn in her clothes to melt it into glass. The canisters she had with her look like the ones that the henchmen filled with Dust in the first episode of Volume 1. Here's a screenshot of Cinder with Dust canisters strapped to her hips and holding the canister she just emptied, along with screenshots of the Dust canisters in V1E1.

And when lava cools, it can create obsidian, so her creating obsidian weapons was more likely her using the bright orange Dust in her clothes to generate lava and cool it into obsidian, especially considering her clothes glowed whenever she did that in Dance Dance Infiltration. So, again, RWBY Dust. In Volume 3, she was using the elemental abilities that come with Maiden powers.
