2) As for Weiss, the expression on hers and Ruby's face indicate this was the first time she had ever done this and it was just a neat trick

3) and Myrtenaster clearly has chutes/channels to release dust, so why couldn't she use it that way?

4) That, and it was so fine and delicate to the point of being useless in battle, not really the same as HER OTHER APPLICATIONS, which do require glyphs.  This wasn't using her semblance, but her weapon. 1) Even after Neo started landing hits on her, right in front of a tiny audience at that?

And, again: Are you telling me that Cinder put more effort against Jaune, whose name she didn't even remember, than against Neo? Because then you'll have to explain to me, why she would put more effort into "fighting" a weakling whose name she didn't even bother to remember, than against a skillful criminal that was actively putting effort into beating her up and actually getting some hits in.

2) Really? It looked more to me like they were trying to get a better view of the room as the wisps flied and lit the candles.

3) I don't know, ask Miles and Kerry. Previously either the Dust was focused on the blade, or she fired a Dust projectile via a Glyph. It didn't seem like she actually knew how to fire Dust projectiles without using her Glyphs, but now it seems like she can.

Then, if she does know how to and is capable of using Dust quite skillfully without using her Glyphs, then why did she always shoot projectiles using her Glyphs?

4) You seriously need to learn how to read, I've repeated what I meant millions of times at this point. I'll say it one last time, in a way that is easy for you to read. If you fail to read it again I'll just assume you're too dense to bother talking to.

'''I am NOT talking about - and I DON'T CARE about - Weiss's little trick with the fire wisps. All I'm talking about, what I DO CARE about, is the fact that she controlled Dust projectiles so well WITHOUT USING HER GLYPHS.'''

"This wasn't her using Semblance", YOU DON'T FUCKING SAY? I'm utterly shocked by that revelation. It's not like that's exactly what I said a thousand times earlier. Oh wait, it is -_-

The application is utterly irrelevant. The "delicate state of the wisps" is utterly irrelevant. 'ALL. I'm. Talking. About. Is. How. She. Controlled. Dust. So. Well. Without. Her. Glyphs. When. Before. She. Used. Glyphs. For. The. Smallest. Simplest. Cheapest. Dust. Projectile.'

Is that hard to understand? I don't care about the trick she made, I care about how she suddenly has pretty good control over Dust projectiles without needing to use her Glyphs at all, despite needing to use her Glyphs for even the tiniest projectile even back in the train fight at the beginning of the Volume.
