User blog comment:VedranTheII/Pretentious Diaries 2: What tricks would you teach your Aura?/@comment-5217560-20150719083609/@comment-5217560-20150719190413

@VedranThell The WoR for Dust. The illustration is not too clear, but one of the uses that the voice cited for sust was using it in its raw form that produced "elegant, but destructive" feats. Users have to be highly disciplined in order to control that power though. What's curious is that before the depiction of weather maniuplation, the sioluette had a dust crystal in its hand, but during the example, it didn't. When Glynda summoned the hail storm, there were no visible signs indicating that she was holding a crystal, and I don't think she weaves dust into her clothes. That's why I presume that she, and others who practice dust sorcery, do not have to be physically holding dust in order to manipulate its energies. They just need an aura and extreme discipline. These are all preusmptions though.

Concerning aura, that actually makes sense, as people have their own indiviual "souls". Although if its nature is truly analogous to energy, I would think transferring it to someone wouldn't be too outlandish. Hmm, hopefully Volume 3 expounds upon aura somemore.
