After taking a closer look at Cinder's weapons in this episode, it becomes even more confusing. Those small glowing containers Cinder carries on her waist/leg area make things very hard to define as far as Dust and weapons in combination with her powers. I slowed down the scenes when Cinder attacked someone and found some interesting stuff.

When Cinder first pulls out her swords, just before she pulls two containers out that release a powder. This powder bursts into flames as Cinder spins around so we can't see anything. When Cinder spins back around, she is holding two swords. Then she uses another one of these containers later when fighting Ruby, making the powder take on the shape of crystals that fly at Ruby. Again shortly after this Cinder uses a container that bursts into flames and Cinder is seen with swords that combine to form a bow.

Now here is where things get tricky. While in the air, Cinder seems to make three arrows out of flames without the use of a container of powder. They literally just form from what appears to be fire. I had to slow the video down to .02-times the normal play rate to see this clearly (when the super-HD version appears on Youtube, I can get a better look).

The only thing I can think of is that she uses fire-Dust as her special skill, controlling it with her high level of Aura control. However maybe her Semblance is the manipulation of objects, changing them from one form to another.

In her fight with Glynda, maybe her Glyphs shattered the debris into smaller fragments that could be burned away with her Dust. Then with her cat suit in the latest episode, she manipulated it into a dress. It would be like melting an ice cube into water and then freezing it into another shape, but she can do this with almost any object; breaking it down and then reorganizing it into another shape. It would explain where the swords and arrows came from, how her dress transformed, and how she burned away the debris Glynda was using.
