"However, what sets true warriors apart from all others is their ability to amplify and control their Aura." - World of Remnant: Aura

Jaune may be able to take down an Ursa on his own, but he hasn't yet reached the level of his classmates. He's getting there, thanks to Pyrrha training him in properly wielding his sword and using his Aura.

And Phantom is right about needing Aura to use Dust beyond just shooting bullets: "Dust. By definition, it is a naturally occurring energy propellant that can be triggered by the aura of Humans and Faunus." - World of Remnant: Dust

In order to use Dust the way Weiss and Cinder use it and the way Blake used it with her Semblance, they would need Aura.

Myrtenaster has vials of powdered Dust in its chamber. Weiss pulls the trigger to open the chamber that's lined up with the exhaust port that leads onto Myrtenaster's blade, and it flows onto the blade. She uses her Aura to activate it and uses Myrtenaster as an instrument to direct it. She also uses her glyphs to direct it, as we've seen with ice Dust in Players and Pieces (when she trapped the Death Stalker's stinger), Painting the Town, No Brakes (when she made the ice dome. It happens fast, just change the Youtube video's speed to 0.25), and Breach (when she made a giant ice sword and swung it).

Cinder doesn't use any instruments to direct Dust. She uses her Aura to do that. She has most likely trained a lot more with her Aura than Weiss has.

The Dust magazine that Weiss gave Blake had vials of powdered Dust in it. Blake pulled the trigger on Gambol Shroud and used her Aura to select which Dust she wanted to use, and it came out and activated in tandem with her Semblance. We know she consciously chose which color she wanted to use because she skipped yellow, and ice, which is dark blue Dust, was the last clone she made.
