I think that's the precise function of Dust in most weapons - the channel by which aura energy can be harnessed in a wide range of ways. Rather than carry their own ignition power-packs, Dust-augmented weapons use Aura energy for their power source.

Dust can work on its own (as Ruby's sneeze proved) but when in the form Ruby specified in episode 2 - "an extension of ourselves" - then they are far more powerful, responsive, flexible and efficient. Good thought, but I mean raw aura and not Dust, like Ren was using.
