The more Semblances we see the more convinced I become that Semblances, Dust, and Aura are like... the scattered Remnants of true magic.

Aura as the physical manifestation of the soul, onto which true magic can be attached

Semblances as the lingering potential for magic; in the form of a single inherent 'spell' which each person has access to.

Dust as a crystalized form of the magical energy which once permeated all of Remnant.

The idea behind the theory basically being that, rather than simply removing magic from Remnant; the God of Darkness tore it apart; leaving the disparate pieces behind.
