Yeah dust seem to have a knack for nature manipulation. But it has other uses as well, with Weiss being a prime example. Well in avatar they manipulate their world's natrual forces but it isn't magic. Same case can be said here. As for Alchemy that's not really mafic(depending on what principles you go off of).
