Okay....sure, I suppose not all weapons in RWBY have to be metallic. But why does that apply to Crescent Rose, Ember Celica, and the Shielth and not Myrtenaster, Jade Dragons, or the Sword? I'm pretty sure Jade Dragon's and Myrtenaster have to be metallic.

@ Darkcloud

That's true. Jaune is the only one we've seen with seemingly simple weapons. The simple nature probably comes from the fact that it is an old weapon that was passed down to him. But the students themselves don't necessarily have to make the weapon. Ren's or Pyrrha's could have been made by someone.

BTW, couldn't anime logic pretty much explain everything in the show? Where's the fun in that? :(
