Monty compared it to Materia, from Final Fantasy 7. Materia is pretty much crystalized energy, and people can draw the energy from within those crystals to "cast" RPG-type spells like fire, lightning, and ice. ....Not just "cast spells like Fire and Ice". Materia in FF7 goes beyond that, and can provide the users with multiple abilities of different kinds, quite a number of which are not simple "Spells".

So depending on how much like "Materia" Dust is, one that gives someone some ability that isn't simple "Elemental/Physical Energy Release" may possibly exist.

At the moment, of course, it's just an hypothesis....
