Item from Volume 5 by Rooster Teeth
The crystallized energy source that powers Remnant's civilization — mined, refined, and integrated into weapons, technology, and combat across every kingdom.
Dust remains the lifeblood of Remnant's civilization. The naturally occurring energy crystals — fire, ice, lightning, wind, gravity, hard-light, and dozens of exotic variants — power everything from household appliances to Huntsman weapons. Weiss channels it through Myrtenaster. Hazel drives raw crystals into his flesh. The Schnee Dust Company built an empire mining it with Faunus labor. The supply situation is worsening. With the Fall of Beacon and the disruption of trade routes, Dust is harder to get and more expensive. The frontier settlements of Anima feel it worst — Dust shipments that used to be regular are now sporadic, leaving communities vulnerable to Grimm without the ammunition or tools to fight back.
Crystalline energy formations ranging from small shards to massive deposits. Each type has a distinct color: red (fire), blue (ice), yellow (lightning), white (wind), black (gravity), cyan (hard-light). Raw crystals glow faintly with their elemental energy. Refined Dust can be stored in vials, loaded into weapon chambers, or woven into fabric.
