User blog:Phantomlink959/A theory on the combination of dust

For my first cannon related blog post, I thought I should explore the concept of dust a bit.

Now, we know the basic 4 type are fire, ice, lightning, and wind; in addition, we know these four primary elements can be combined naturally and artificially.

for natural combination, it is likely safe to assume environmental factors like heat and pressure could fuse dust together. with simple environmental factors such as these I have a few possible combinations. in this theory, I will be asuming the environment determines the number of dust varieties that can be fused at once

high pressure environment or high temperature(max-2):


 * ice+fire=water


 * wind+lightning=energy(more refined and steady than lightning, used for power generation)


 * ice+lightning=light

heat and pressure(max-3)
 * wind+fire=smoke
 * water+wind=steam


 * ice+fire+wind=steam
 * wind+fire+lightning=flashburn(intense, rapid release of heat and light, effectively thermite)
 * ice+wind+lightning=storm
 * water+smoke+light=mirage
 * smoke+light+wind=darkness

These are all varieties that I believe could occur in a natural dust deposit under the right conditions.

when we add the human element, a guiding hand and more complex means, more possibilities become available. to start, let's go ahead and assume dust can, when ground, be diluted with a solvent. if you allow for dust to be ground from crystal to powder and disolved, you can then mix together the dissolved dust and then give it either evaporate the liquid or give it a seed crystal. i used an X for seed crystals

dissolve+seed crystal(no limit) thats just the basics and my own speculation, I have been trying to figure out wat combination would make earth, but am drawing a blank. if I was mistaken and the yellow is in fact earth and not lightning, I appologise, let me know and I can revise the combinations.
 * light+darkness=flash(quick, intense light, enough to temporarily blind)not naturally available as prerequisite elements would be seperated by other varieties
 * smoke+stormXsteam=gas(tear gas)
 * smoke+steam+stormXfire=gas(flammable)
 * light+darkness+mirage+energyX?=void(absorbs light and sound)

feel free to give me your thoughts on other possible blends and/or methods
