User blog comment:Withersoul/How would man have fought against the grim before using dust?/@comment-10390252-20130902144144/@comment-3146930-20130902152014

I agree, I mean look at how Glynda is able to manipulate the Dust she uses to move objects effortlessly to attack Roman's ship. While we have seen the uses of Dust in combat, that same power could be used to build a house in a matter of hours. Dust-fire could be used to quickly forge weapons or maybe steel girders for tall buildings. Maybe someone found a way to use Dust in the same way we use gasoline. And like I said, children can design weapons. Even if a teacher is helping them out or something, look at the complexity of the weapons we have seen and tell me that the people in this world aren't somehow smarter or stronger then humans in this world.
