@anon But we're talking Dust, not modern medicine and not poison or fungal spores. If you want to make something with Dust that you can throw on the ground to affect an enemy, then you'll likely end up with what I suggested: Dust grenades.

For now, we don't really have anything in the show that tells us what would happen if you put powdered Dust in a liquid. Would it dissolve into the liquid? I actually kind of doubt it, considering that Dust naturally occurs as crystals ("Burn, uncut" -> Gets handed a Dust crystal. Crystals/gems get shaped by being cut), so that means that powdered Dust is literally ground-up Dust crystals. Crystal shards do not dissolve in liquid, as far as I know. They can probably be melted at super high temperatures, but that would prove useful for mixing Dust into metal for Dust-infused metal, not for potion making.

As for putting Dust in yourself, we have been told that people can and do fuse Dust with themselves. However, the video depicted someone taking a Dust crystal and literally putting it inside of themselves. Other than that, we don't know if one method of infusing Dust with oneself is via injection.

Even then, infusing Dust with oneself would most likely not produce results such as "makes you strong" or "makes you speedy" or "unlimited stamina" unless that person's Semblance works in a way where mixing Dust with their Semblance actually does produce those effects. As I said, Dust tends to be elemental energies, such as fire, ice, and lightning.

Weiss' haste (clock) glyph makes sense because the raw form of her Semblance is that her glyphs control motion, so mixing yellow (lightning) Dust with a glyph would understandably create a haste glyph, as lightning is associated with speed (due to the fact that it moves faster than sound) and her glyphs, again, control motion. Infusing lightning Dust within yourself will not inherently grant you super speed. It will grant you the ability to summon and control electricity.

@ACWeapons Really? I haven't seen anything about that, at least not in the Rooster Teeth version. Can you tell me more?
