If Dust provides/is energy, such energy would be consumed by use - if Dust is just a container/focussing point of energy, then it could be rechargeable.

But what is that energy then? Well my theory is that, "Man, born from Dust" would imply that only things with a "Soul" can use Dust. This could also mean that Dust is composed of the souls that Humans and Faunus, even animals have, while the Grimm lack it.

The implications of a "Rechargable Dust Crystal" would essentially be finding out that your phone's battery can be recharged through the blood and tears of crying children. I imagine the mere conception of it would be like discovering a "Life Drain" power that can make people immortal.
