DragonNAW5 wrote: What is a "pure dust spell"? When you use dust without a controlling medium. Weiss used dust with her rapier as a control baton, she draws it along the blade but the blade basically acts as her conductor's rod, a channel for the dust to flow out of and be used with.

Conversely, Cinder summons flames directly into her hand and throws it around via her own skill with dust.

Basically, can the user grab a vial of straight powdered dust or a chunk of crystal and use it raw, or do they need a medium to help guide it such as their weapon or a semblance.
