It's been stated that weapons are an extension of the individual. Glynda's riding crop is basically the same as any wand on Harry Potter: the stick itself is not necessarily magical, but is simply a conduit through which the wizards and witches focus their own innate magical ability. If it can be argued that Dust in itself cannot achieve telekinesis, then that leaves the only other option being that Glynda's telekinetic abilities are derived of her own semblance.

That was not exactly my point, I was more thinking about that her crop is either the source of her telekinesis or just multiply/focus her own abillity (like Harry Poter wards). So that she has to use her crop in order to use her ability.

(personly I think it could be something else as telekinesis maybe some wind/air dust)

For this point of dying if you exhaust yourself to a certain point you will die eventually it doesn't matter what you do if it is running, fighting or even something like concentrating very hard on something. So if you use your Semblance too much and goes beyond the limit it is likely you die.

But for another question that is burning in my mind: Where does humanity get the dust from? is it just lying around and you have to geather it, or is it like ore and it has to be won. I actually like the idea of the second, because it seems to me logical that dust (may or may not be dust as just dust) to be won from within the earth.
