- Ruby, Yang, and others utilize dust rounds, which are plain bullets that are propelled by, and/or have tips filled with dust, or in the case of Yang, Ember Celica simply ignites the dust within the shell, and the explosion carries out the barrel. Crystal-form dust hasn't yet been shown in use at all on the show except for Ep.1 when Roman shoots one that's at Ruby's feet, but we do know that Ruby and others don't use it.

- I actually used to think the exact same about dust, but eventually changed my mind. Since then, I've also been told that that idea of "Dust charging", isn't accepted on the wiki. That isn't mentioned in the rules either though, and I heard this from a non-admin, so it may not be entirely true, It may be something you'd want to ask an admin about also.

-That's still a significant shockwave if it can knock someone a few feet away even after the all the diffusion with distance. Absolute bare minimum, Zahn would be knocked back the same distance. I wasn't assuming it was all that strong, but the recoil on Zahn is the summation of all the force he puts out.

It's like lying on a bed of nails. You can do it because the force is distributed between the points, that's like the shockwave, because it acts on the target, the air, and the ground in a near-360 degress radius, so it's distributed widely. For Zahn though, all that same force is concentrated on VV and him as recoil, so Zahn is just laying on 4 or 5 nails, which won't end well.

- Semblance is exactly like Aura. Jaune didn't know what it was or how to use it before Pyrrha unlocked it for him (And he still can't really use it much), but that doesn't mean he didn't have an aura all along.
