If, say, there was a platform made of a Dust infused polymer, and Weiss put a glyph on it, what would happen? What if it were powdered Dust? I'm inclined to think not, because Aura suffuses weapons, which often contain Dust (if only in ammunition). I think it may required a concentrated spark, as far as I know a room full of flamable material won't ignite even if the temperature rises because it needs to catalyze with something to start the reaction (even if that catalyst is something as boring as a sneeze).

I imagine a dust based polymer would be more potent than crystaline form but more stable than powder, it's what I use for Garen's sealing blades and he has to actively charge them with aura to ignite.

Raw powder would be more inclined to ignite under aura pressure like Weiss' glyphs as it is unstable. Raw dust sealed into a catridge would be protected from the aural charge and not ignite as readily because it's in a sealed environment.
