That's what I immediately thought of when the narrator said some people can infuse Dust into their skin. Agreed, that was my first thought too. The thing is, dust is not a everlasting resource, it's consumed when it's used. So anything you do with it in terms of clothing or into the body directly is not going to last. At least that's my first thought. I suppose RT can make up whatever rules they like about it. Perhaps those methods are reusable. *shrug*  Without more info I'm not even going to speculate further on the direct to body method.

The clothing thing is interesting though. I've seen it in a few fanfics even before this, usually applied to Ruby's cloak. I assume at the very least it can be used in clothes in much the same way it's used in rounds for the guns, a specific elemental effect that just needs an application of aura to trigger. The question is how complicated the effects can be. Just straight elemental effects? Complex D&D style enchantments? Or something in-between? Another question is can the dust mages use dust clothing as a fuel for their spells, or is it too processed at that point for that to be workable?
