Phantom, define "mana" for me, because that has a fucking ton of definitions across different works in fiction.

Also, it's pure elemental energy, not magic. Using lightning Dust is like using electricity in the exact same way. Can you heal with electricity? No. You can only shock something, or use it as energy to make a machine work, or if you are creative use it to get someone's heart beating again.

You can only do with Dust, what you can only do with it's element. You know that already. They don't work like real magic, they are just grabbing an element and throwing it at someone. Like the Avatar but with no need of having the element nearby, just the Dust.

If anything is magical, it's Semblances.
