The only other time we see the runes are when Cinder changes her outfit. The crop has no dust, so my guess is Maiden Powers and a semblance of telekenisis. I'll have to re-watch V3E6 again to see if there's anything to hint at her maybe being a maiden herself. It could explain her care for Pyrrah and intimate knowledge. I actually went and rewatched the episode and you can see something shiny being thrown into the sky before Glynda summons the storm... So I suppose she threw a crystal/s and detonated it with her semblance.

The crop could have Dust within a non-transparent compartment or just Glynda's way to better focus her telekinesis on a target, similar to how Weiss sometimes point her rapier towards where she wants to summon her Glyphs.
