In No Brakes, Weiss used Myrtenaster to draw a blue circle in the air, and then that circle became a barrier with shockwaves much like the one we saw in the colosseum. In Battle of Beacon, we see Weiss make a barrier yet again with the same exact art style of shockwaves as was seen multiple times in the barrier in the colosseum. Since the colosseum has the same kind of barrier, it obviously is not an Aura technique. Since Weiss used Myrtenaster to make the circle, it is implied to come from Myrtenaster, which uses Dust, so it's a pretty straightforward assumption that it was Dust. To assume that Myrtenaster has a hidden machine somewhere on it that makes barriers is taking things too far (referencing a forum thread that the barriers were discussed in).

If we must, we can change it to say "Unknown" instead of "Barrier", since we don't know for certain if that Dust type is called Barrier or if barriers are the only thing that it can do (considering the lasers, Velvet's hardlight weapons, and possibly Mistral's trains).

As for gravity Dust, I assume it wasn't added because we haven't really seen as much proof of gravity Dust contributing to the black glyphs as we have the lightning Dust contributing to the time dilation glyphs (Myrtenaster's blade glowing yellow and then shooting off a yellow laserbeam that then created a time dilation glyph in Painting the Town). But we probably should at least list that Myrtenaster contains a vial of gravity Dust.
