The return of the "Mysterious Narrator"! (I have to wonder if her talk in this mini-series ties into her knowing more then most people about Remnant in the main series)

So, we finally got handed our "Dust for Dummies and other inadequate individuals" booklet, and boy, am I glad to finally get a peek! Quick rundown:


 * Dust is "triggered" by Aura
 * Dust Crystals come in four "base" forms(which in my mind are the four classical elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air)
 * These base forms can be combined to form new types, and this happens both artificially and naturally
 * Almost all technology on Remnant makes use of Dust on some level
 * Dust can be used in it's raw form, closely resembling "magic"
 * While this is a more powerful use of Dust, it is also difficult to control, demanding discipline to use effectively
 * Dust Cartridges are used in guns, and are easy to use
 * Dust can also be woven into Clothes(hello Cinder!)
 * Dust can even be fused with one's body
 * Finally, Dust's origins are unknown to the people of Remnant

All in all, really great; I now have a much better understanding of Dust!

Hmm... speculation: did Yang's mom infuse Yang with Dust to artificially enhance her semblance? And then ran off before anyone could ask her why? It might explain why Yang went to question Junior in the first place.
