First thing first... Hi all, I'm a new member.

From what I understood, Dust is a mineral (or a category of minerals) with power similar to magic, like controlling the elements, some kind ol Telekinesis and probably others. I was wondering why there were Dust crystals exposed in the shop if Dust seems to be used in powder form and I came up with three possibilities:

1) Crystals are used principally to transport the Dust since the powder is higly volatile while the crystals seem to be a lot more stable.

2) Crystal still have "magical" properties and are used to power up or fuel things (imagine a refrigerator working because there is an ice dust crystal inside) but their output is lesser then the powder form. On this point, maybe Dust Crystals can emit power for a long time (or maybe eternally), while the powder is a lot more powerful but consumed quite rapidly.

3) Dust Crystals are also used as decorations.

Since Dust is mined, i can guess that its normal form is the crystal one and probably was mistaken as a normal crystal when was first found. I pity the one who first thougth about grinding the crystal into powder and then it, probably, exploded in his face.
