Slight nitpick, but Cinder wasn't using magic in Dance Dance Infiltration. She was still using Dust back then, which worked in her favor, as it meant Glynda and Ironwood were completely unaware that she was the one who stole part of Amber's powers. Hence why Glynda was actually surprised when Qrow said the one who attacked Amber was at Beacon, even after coming to the conclusion that the woman who infiltrated the CCT tower was the woman she had fought in V1E1.

Ruby mentioned that Cinder's clothes had glowed when she attacked, and Ironwood pointed out that that's literally just clothing with Dust woven into it, which is an age-old technique. They even showed Cinder sewing something in the episode prior.
