Assuming Glyphs are part of it, and not something everyone can do with practice, we're looking at an ability that should be personality related instead being tied to a bloodline, and somehow doing multiple unrelated things instead of just the one thing. That doesn't make sense with the established rules, which given what little we know of them implies something more complicated going on that we don't yet know about.

And the other thing is Raven. Qrow deliberately covered her face up when he was showing Ruby and Yang the picture, specifically because he noticed Yang was paying attention. Seems to me that there is something about her that neither Qrow nor Taiyang want to risk talking about. It's hard to believe they never found out that Yang knows about her, so what else could it be? I think the ability of summoning is the Schnee's hereditary semblance, but what is summoned is totally dependent on the personality of the user which kinda ties both ideas in together.

That could possibly stem from her fascination of Raven and that almost getting her killed in the past. It could also be that they don't even know that she knows about her real roots as of yet.
