Personally, I think that Aura is one of the ignition sources for Dust (concussion is another and possibly certain combinations of heat or electric). I also think that Dust can act as a catalyst for Aura, increasing its range, strengthening its effects and widening the sort of effects produced.

I'm fairly sure that Crimson is channelling her aura through dust, probably in her jewellery and in the decorations on her dress. She does a normal Aura trick (the shield) but can also throw fire and cause objects to explosively heat up.
