You know what white cloud that we saw during Winter vs Qrow? That was most likely steam Dust. Winter has at least one Dust component in her sword, but it's hard to get a look at it. I think the white Nevermores she made were condensed steam, too.

And the four naturally-occurring base types of Dust are apparently fire, water, lightning, and air.

To get any of the other types, you have to mix Dust. But here's the thing: We know very little about how mixing Dust works.

How do you mix Dust? Does it have to be in powder form in order to mix it or is there some special way to get crystals to react to each other and combine with/transfer to each other?

Do some types require mixing more than just two? For example, would you need to mix three at the same time to make a certain type? Can some types be made by mixing a primary (original, base, naturally-occurring) type with a secondary (created by mixing two or more primaries) type, thus leading to a tertiary type?

We have nothing, except Kerry saying "Carefully."

Also, after Miles rattled off "Fire + water = steam, water + air = ice, there's gravity Dust", he said he'd have to consult the RWBY bible, so apparently there's all kinds of shit about Dust written down.
