I have a couple ideas to add to the Dust Use section of the Myrtenaster page, but I'm not sure if I should or not, since I'm not sure how much of it would be considered speculation. So, I'd like some input. Let's discuss.

The first is cyan Dust. In "No Brakes," during her fight with the White Fang Lieutenant, we see her draw a circle in the air with Myrtenaster, and when WF Lt hits it, it appears to be a shield that has cyan shockwaves going through it. We saw, for less than a second, cyan waves like that in "Painting the Town..." created when Yang tried to punch Neo, so I'm pretty sure it was Dust being used. The Dust may have been expelled from the hole in the top of Neo's umbrella's shaft, especially considering that the circles are radiating from the center of her umbrella.

I'm sure it's cyan and not blue because it has already been proven, by Ruby's Dust sneeze scene, that blue Dust is ice. The circles are cyan, and Myrtenaster contains red, blue, yellow, cyan, purple, and white Dust.

The question is, were the cyan streaks that Weiss fired at the Giant Nevermore in "Players and Pieces" also from cyan Dust? That... is harder to discern.

The second is yellow Dust, which is lightning. We haven't seen her use it for lightning yet, but it's possible that the haste glyphs (clock glyphs were confirmed to be haste) were a result of her mixing yellow Dust with her glyphs. This, I'm pretty sure, is mostly speculation, since the only proof we have of this is the yellow streak that shot through the air from Myrtenaster to the ground in "Painting the Town..." The best proof I can provide that the streak comes from Myrtenaster and not Weiss' hand is these two screenshots. The first is the best I can get for when she fires it. Even through the bright yellow flash, you can see Myrtenaster's handle and rotating chamber. The second is the streak coming from Weiss' left hand, which is the hand she holds Myrtenaster in.

So, thoughts?
