Talk:Cinder's Weapons/@comment-29684190-20190906210625/@comment-4010415-20190907002343

It might just be a Cinder thing because she was already using a similar technique with Dust beforehand, utilizing orange Dust's association with lava to create obsidian, while using her mastery of Dust manipulation to shape it into the desirable weapons.

I think it has finally been said somewhere that Cinder's experience with Dust is specifically why she's already so good at using the Maiden powers? We do know that her affinity for fire and lava is why she uses specifically those elements with her Maiden powers, similar to how that's what she was using Dust for.

Seriously, it's impressive that Cinder, with only around 2 years of Maiden experience, held her own so well against Raven, who has had her Maiden powers for around a decade.
