@Chish: 1-In hindsight, I have to admit, Lava could be a variation of Fire, same as Burn. It would be the equivalent of what Water Dust is to Ice Dust.

2-I don't think Merc was using Steam. It looked more like Wind to me, which as we both know, was made White for whatever reason in Vol.3.

3-When Weiss said that.....I don't think she was literally listing Dust elements. But rather, saying what they were. Fire, Water, Lightning, among other elements, and the energy fuel for almost everything. (Not to mention, "Energy" just seems way too generalizing to refer to a specific Dust type).
