2. Cinder could only be able to do it due to her semblance (or an ability granted by Salem, not ruling out any possibilities). So no, it's not fair to say anybody else could do the same with dust. 1-Like WC said, Obsidian was very, very fragile. It breaks easily. Whoever told you it was stronger than a rock was smoking many herbs. The thing about obsidian is that it's sharp as hell, it cuts through flesh better than a steel knife cuts through a wet paper.

It's because of it that Obsidian was never used as a weapon, only in weapons. For example, making a wooden sword with obsidian in the edges, giving you a very light, yet sharp weapon.

2-We don't know her Semblance, and so far the only "ability" granted by Salem that we've seen her use is the Grimm Glove. I'm more than sure that trying to use that as an argument it's a pretty flawed decision.
