Dust might be a limited resource, but I’m betting with how little the kingdoms have spread out compared to the civilizations of our world, there is plenty more out there in the more dangerous grim infested regions. Maybe such dangerous jobs are what the Schnee Corporation hire faunast labor for because no human is willing to take such a dangerous job. (In which case the Schnee Corporation’s very worst crime could simply be being too cheap or neglectful of their fanust work force in such conditions, that would be classism, ot racism though still explotation).

FACT: Dust is a crystal.

That’s important, because it’s possible to create synthetic crystals, or at least it is for us here in the real world. We used synthetic diamonds in cutting tools because there the hardest things on earth, and there’s even a company that makes gemstone for rings and other jewelry. I’m not just talking about a substitute material. I mean there is a company that take tiny diamonds seeds(That’s what they call them going in), and put’s them through a process were they feed them more carbon and grow them to regular size and quality diamonds, but are still synthetic because they weren’t mined by child or slave labor in Africa. What all of this means if they haven’t thought of it yet or just haven’t figured it out they could make more dust at some point in the future…

But would that be a good thing!

What I’m really wondering is how using dust is going to change the world of Remnant, and if it already has (besides changes caused by advances in technology)! That was the narrator's closing remarks.

There is a slim chance that Dust is a miracle fuel like Impulsion in the 'GEAR of WAR ' series, if you don’t know what that is you can wait to you’re done with this wiki, I’m mostly making that point just to acknowledge it and get it out of the way, because it’s just as likely to have the similarly terrifying side effects as dust being of alien origin.

What I really wondering about now is if there is a connection between the Grim and the Dust. Does one create the other? For instance if Dust is a byproduct of the Grim does that mean the kingdoms who are so dependent on it can’t complete eradicate the Grim because to do so would be to send their Kingdoms back to the Dark Ages(This is another one I’m addressing before moving on to the point/idea I really want to talk about).

What if the Dust around the world, reacts to the subconscious aura of Humanity (which I by the way see the faunust as a part of and would at very least be a subspecies, only in its scientific organism classification, I don’t mean to belittle them) and creates the Grim from our Id(a part of our subconsious), and our darkest emotions, thoughts, and primal desires. I believed that ‘Shadow at Morning’ called the Grim Beast-Shaped Lightning over in the ‘Episode 4: Where from here?’ thread. What if that wasn’t that far off? What if the grim are an effect/consequence of humanity using dust? Better yet in Season one episode one the narrator said that humanity had long forgotten they were byproducts of long forgotten age. Maybe someone could have consciously made the Grim and lost control of it like the Nazi Science Group with element 115 in ‘Call of Duty Zombies.’

Or maybe that's nonsense and Dust could simply be an amazing ellement that when full understood and utilized could be used to shepard in a new age of humanity, but it could be in the vision of our heroes (team rwby), or be used to remake the world in Cinder’s image (I’m betting she has Dust Clothes, Tatoos, and even has it in her Blood, remember Roman was looking for burnt crystal, cinders ellement).
