So by that definition she would be at 2, because she uses a medium to cast her spells (her weapon being the medium). Cinder is a 5 because she can use dust in its raw form without a medium to direct her focus, and manipulate it into what she wants (such as when she fought Runy in DDI and created her bow from pure dust stored in vials). If that's the logic, then part of me feels that the positions for Dust Channeling weapon and Dust Infused should be switched around. Because I imagine that effectively using a weapon that channels Dust to the extent Weiss' does is a might bit harder than just swinging around a sword or a mace with fire Dust built in.
