It's unclear how Dust is used and where it comes from just from the first episode, but it appears to be used in weapons instead of being ingested or injected directly into a person like a Vigor or Plasmid. So it can power up a person's weapon and allow them to use it for magic (Weiss and Gylnda are the best examples of this). Crimson seems to be able to use magic without a clear weapon, although that may be because she has Dust integrated into the glowing lines on her outfit.
