We have specifically gone for a neutral stance on the Manticore/Sphinx, neither confirming or denying that either are a bigger form of he other because of people arguing. We are literally just waiting for them to say something (yes or no, highly likely yes) before we clarify.

Cinder's arm looks like a Geist arm right down to the little bone fragments and the gap bewteen the 'bones' in the forearm. The only arms we have seen which do the stretchy thing are the Nuckelavee (which her arm is visually completely different) and Salem's summon arms (which looks like Geist arms and don't have a name yet). For now we are referring to her arm as a Geist arm because of the visual similarity, being an exact copy unlike the Manticore/Sphinx argument.

If in future we are wrong, it shall be adjusted just like Qrow's 'semblance' was when it was revealed the ability to turn into a bird was a magical extra he got from Ozpin.
