And I'm glad Weiss didn't freeze up and get scared during the fight, but I like her inner monalogue about training. It showed her more sheltered side, that she's got more book learning than actual experience. And of course she and Ruby screwed everything up, but Lie was a total badass. And finally, Yang's witty banter. Now all I expect from her are some puns. I'm also glad to see Blake. Really glad. The way I see it Aura and dust when it's in a humen body do roughly the same thing, roughly.

It's just that Dust can be use in weapons and tech.

Also dust can be used with very little training, It like how crossbows and rifles are easy tto use then bows.

So in my view "dust is Aura for dumbas***." I doubt it. Aura seems to be a more, 'physical' force whereas Dust is more along the lines of elemental energy.
