Yeah that sounds about right. The Dust stores a particular form of energy that could be drained by someone with Aura to modify the effects of their Aura and add more energy to their field. It is just a dry battery in powder form, that also imparts a elemental affinity to the Aura.

I do like the converter idea a lot since it cuts down on the costs of making the engines needed to power the cities, but converting forms of energy is really inefficient. Where would the energy come from then anyways? Its almost tragic to think about, how a society so dependant on the energy Dust converts have to keep pouring their own Auras to Dust to keep society going. Mankind doesn't use Dust, Dust is using mankind. We are the slaves!
