I'm just...iffy about it personally, I guess.

And I still do not believe that Cinder's semblance is weapon creation. She seems to be a much subtler person than the type to just go ahead and create aural weapons all day long - some sort of tactile hypnosis as Phantom suggested to me once seems more like her style.

Because...it's not in their body? And in games and RPG's, which is what RWBY is based on, mana used to create something is not regained when you decide to dispell it after it has been created - only if you dispell it while it's still in creation and hasn't been fully formulated yet. In my personal opinion, it is far more likely to have used a specific type of dust (whether it is Lava or whatever remains to be seen), along with manipulation of her Aura to shape the weapons which would mean a lower aura drain, which made the weapons.
