The word "dust" means two different things in the same opening narration? Well....that's confusing. Okay, I see your point. And actually if "Dust" refers to the powdered, refined version of the crystals, then there is no way man can be born from it because it's something man-made. Perhaps man might be born from the natural crystals that the SDC mines?

I had actually thought about light blue Dust being a derivative of blue Dust. Similarly I thought about yellow and orange dust having a similar relationship. But I decided to go with this train of thought: You can see light blue Dust crystals inside the shop in Ep 1. I assumed that crystals are naturally occurring since they are mined. Thus the light blue Dust is not artificial.

I actually had not forgotten about the violet "homing rays" that Glynda uses. I assumed that they were something like condensed Dust particles that she was manipulating. Since the nature of violet Dust is that it gives the user control, Glynda can just use it to hit whatever she wants.

If white Dust is a combination of all the other colors, then what would that say about white's significance? I suppose it could just make your attacks super-strong. I mean, the way it is used in the White Trailer is basically that. But that's no different from red Dust. But if it's a combination of all the different colors then there has to be something more to white Dust. Perhaps it has the ability to neutralize the effects of all other forms of Dust?
