User blog comment:VedranTheII/Pretentious Diaries 2: What tricks would you teach your Aura?/@comment-25555436-20150718035449



<---Okay, what is that? It doesn't look similar at all to the other times she used Moon Slash Ver.B (how I call that "Aura Slash").

As for the squibbly lines:

I notice, and likely you too, that Glynda's Meaningless Meaningful Text on her Rune Shield was pretty different from Cinder's.

Her's look more like....adornments, however it's spelled. Like if someone had been decorating the walls of the majestic palace of Amon-Ra.

Plus the gratuitous pentagram on the center. The Rune shield is asymmetric, and the squibbly lines's font looks pretty curved. (Not sure it's Arabian though).



Cinder's squibbly lines however, are more interesting in a way. First of all, they apparently can change color.

Second of all, they look less like adornments or even simple text, and more like written flames made in Photoshop. Their design also seems a lot less complex than Glynda's, and more chaotic.

We could say it's an Aura technique, but here's a thing I'm gonna throw at ya before going to sleep. First, we have seen Weiss use Dust, countless times. But if you notice hard enough, she always uses it with either her Glyphs, or her Rapier, never directly through her Aura, only through her weapon or Semblance.

However, Cinder and definitely Glynda have much more experience with Dust, so it's very likely they don't need Semblances or Weapons to use it.

So, what if, if someone uses Dust directly, through their own Aura, instead of through a Semblance or through a weapon, those runes with squibbly lines appear? And if that's the case, what if their color depends on the Dust used?
