One thing - in S2E1, when Cinder holds Roman's chin, her eyes glower for a second. Funny. Well this is for sure we already know she has Pyrokinesis, abilities that deal with the usage of glass which may or may not be related to her semblance, power/glyph/seal that allows her to take a Maidens power (unkown if this works on semblances as well but I doubt it). expert or at least high level proficiency with dual hunter blades, and bow and arrows, expert tactician and manipulator.

More powers may appear in the future RWBY episodes and volumes as she may or may not recieve the other half of the Fall Maiden's powers(Amber). As well as try to obtain the other powers of the Maidens as well.

Another theory as well is that she may just well try to go after the origin of the Maidens Powers. In the story told by Ozpin in RWBY VOL 3: Ep 6 he stated that the Maidens recieved their powers from "a callous old man". Whose to say he didn't hand down his powers as well through the generations or may well be alive himself.

Thinking further on this it may just be possible that "the old man" may have a hand in the course of the storyline given the mysterious background of the series especially the intro of RWBY VOL 1: Ep 1 where it was only slightly expounded. In fact it may just have been him who gave Dust to mankind or something. I don't know this is just a theory in my head right now.
