User blog comment:WarrenWitch/Dust is not magic Part 2..Oh and Weiss is a treat/@comment-11803306-20130727054623/@comment-5217560-20130727174745

I agree. Well said. I'm thinking since Dust comes in all forms of matter it can probably be corrupted as well. Not to mentino Weiss did say it was "purified". So that may allude to Dust being further altered from its original composition. There may be people who are able to cancel out it's affects.

Excellent point. Monty doesn't want a "oh this will solve everything" kind of deal. They will need to work it out the hard way. Not to mention he did say that he percieves "Magic" to be somewhat different than what we think of. Magic to him could be a day off from work for all we know..

There is a high possibility that Weiss relys entirely too much on dust, but that could also be an advantage because that means she knows the most about it. Her knowledge and her skill in its use would be highly valuable to Team RWBY. I think that's a good point you made, they may be om the same team to balance each other out. Cover each other's short comings, i.e Ruby's over dependency on her weapon, Weiss's reliance on Dust, Blake's lack of durability, and Yang's "leap before you think", just to name a few of their individual problems.

Really, good points.
