As stated in the story,Jaune never received a formal training and that's the cause why he does not have any access to the supernatural powers of the Crocea Mors. His weapon can channel dust,and he has a lot of Aura. Without dust, he can still use his weapon by using his Aura. Nah, the weapons can channel Aura. Dust is used to create bullets and rounds for weapons like Ren's bullets or Myrtenaster's source of power for the spells, but the User's aura is connected to the weapon. So far, we haven't seen anyone in RWBY (at least not proved) who uses Aura as her/his power source. Hunters uses the Aura for their Semblance and tactical support (physical defense, heightened perception), but only Ren has use it as a weapon for hand-to-hand combat against a giant snake.
