If you want to see a similar use of Weiss' glyphs in actual anime, I suggest Yuuno Scrya of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. His 'glyph' is an extremely powerful shield capable of defending strikes, with use of magical chains and binds to subdue his enemies.

He is in fact the most powerful defender in the MLGN universe, although the fandom over there has completely destroyed his significance (gets rendered to a side character during the next anime, then as a background character) because they cannot stand the main characters being shipped with anyone but each other. I hope RWBY creators never allow themselves to be pushed that far by stupid opinions.
