Exactly! Good examples and points! Not to mention Monty explicitlly said "Dust isn't magic"! Ugh, so it truly bothers me when people try to say it is. I always refer to Avatar for reference. Although you and I's definition of spells are different hahahaha(I consider spells to be magic) so I myself wouldn't call their attacks spells. But to each their own. But yes, people can not apply earthly terms to the world of RWBY. To different things.
