"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic (Arthur C. Clarke)"

I'm quoting this because the RWBY world certainly has technology including a technology of enhancing weapons. Possibly Adam's special ability with which he kills the spider droid, which certainly has a magic touch, also derives from his weapon.

Now that we have established that Weiss is not casting magic directly but transfers it from her, obviously somehow enchanted, weapon, the question poses itself whether there will be pure magic in the RWBY universe.

Maybe Yellow will give us a first indication. She seems to be the only one wearing gauntlets. Is that her enhancing feature - be it for unarmed combat or use of magic? (I personnally am not convinced of the pistol theory - too Lara Crofty).

On the other hand I could imagine some really cool fighting animations in context with direct and pure magic use. I'd actually like to see it.

How do you feel about the use of magic in RWBY, and what do you expect from the information we have so far?
