Yang's fire, like Ruby's rose-petal jump, Adam's energy redirectoin and Weiss's speed and rune-jumping, play havoc with the assumption that Dust-powered appliances is the source of all 'magical' effects in the RWBY universe. This is only a guess on my part but I'm starting to think that it can also directly effect humans.

How? Well, you can extrapolate from the White trailer that you can scatter dust across yourself to trigger certain things (Weiss seems to scatter some on her boots to trigger her flash-step and rune-jumping). I wonder if it is possible to inhale or ingest it for certain effects too?
