Ok I just deleted my answer by accident ... once again...

I think your right that Dust is most likly the only source of power.

So about the origin of Semblance: It comes probably from the aura a person has rather than from some Dustexperiments. Though everyone got aura so every one has a Semblance. Even though it would make sense if Semblance is made up of Dust within the human body (and Faunus too) like water is a part of it (about 70%). But it wouldn't make sense to use Dust and be limited or use just Semblance with no restrictions. So I guess Semblance are all the skills Dust cannot do, that in the end it adds up. But where strats Dust and where ends Semblance?

About Glynda, is it her Semblance? or is it her crop that makes things fly? Same goes to Cinder, I agree fire seems not suitable for creating weapons but it could be another material, even though there is fire while summonding them, it was mentiond glass and I think it is as good as any guess. But I think it is not her Semblance but I could be wrong there (I just want her to have a badass Semblance).

I actually wouldn't think to hard about Symbols of people are showing any hint to there Semblances, like you mentioned the rose of Ruby, it is more linkt to her name than to her abilities. My guess is, it is linked to the persons characteristics it may be the Semblance though.

If Cinder wants really to destroy the kindom(s) I hardly believe it is because she wants humanity to evolve, but rather to get revange or something like that.

to end this: man you really wrote a lot and actually it may not seem so I do agree on most of your points there

And I actually wrote it all again ...
