Like Live said, Dust isn't magic. In their world, it's science. It's like if we had to fight monsters with raw elements like sulfur, mercury, bromine, etc etc. Except they only have 4 naturally-occurring types, while we have many. The other types are achieved through mixing Dust, whether naturally or artificially. I like to imagine that Dust undergoes a chemical reaction when mixed, and that's why the color and effect changes.

It's all elemental, as far as we've seen. It just physically manifests that element when used.
