Dust is, first and foremost, elemental phlebotinum. somethign between materia and soul gems.

anyways, dust infused clothing and accesoies would most likely act as a less conspicuous/more portable source of dust for use by mage type fighters.

Dusti nfusion into the body? I have my own theories, particularly that it would imbue certain elemental properties into the user. for earth/stone, the body would be stronger and more resistant to damage. wind would make you lighter and more agile, water would make you heal faster, fire would make you more resistant to extreme cold, ice to extreme heat, and lightning would improve reflexes. that's if infused into the body directly, however. with, say, tattooes, it would, once again, act as a source of dust for elementaly charging aura-based abilities.

But that's all pure speculation on my part.
