Dust

Dust is a source of energy in the world of RWBY. The physical properties of Dust make it incredibly useful for a variety of purposes, particularly in the weapons of many characters in the series.
The name "Dust" is implied to be a reference to the primordial state from which mankind was born. As a natural resource, it is sometimes poetically referred to as "Nature's Wrath" or more prosaically as an energy propellant.
According to ancient legends recounted during the opening narration of "Ruby Rose," mankind was fighting a losing struggle with creatures of darkness known as the Grimm. However, through their resourcefulness and ingenuity, humanity managed to discover and harness a source of power they named "Dust" in order to battle the Grimm.
The advent of Dust became the turning point in the war. It would appear that after mankind drove back the Grimm and built civilizations, Dust became integrated into everyday life within Remnant.
Despite its widespread use and prevalence in society, humanity has yet to understand the origins or the implications of their involvement with Dust.
Dust is known as a naturally occurring energy propellant triggered by the Aura of Humans and Faunus. It exists in four basic variations that can be combined both artificially and naturally to form new and stronger types, each with their own unique properties. In "The Shining Beacon," Weiss Schnee also names Water and Energy as potential Dust types. Different colors of Dust appear to correspond to their different natures or effects.
Dust can be found in two discrete states, crystalline and powdered. Both crystalline and powdered Dust are known to be highly explosive. For example, during the Dust store robbery, Roman Torchwick threw a crystal at Ruby Rose's feet and fired at it, causing a sizable explosion. The powdered form appears to be even more volatile, since something as innocuous as a sneeze is enough to detonate a cloud of Dust.

Dust combinations
Now please keep this in mind that it is possible to combine dust together to form new more powerful types HOWEVER any combinations i list here are not all confirmed to be the combinations they use in the show, some of them that i will list are possibly true and easy to see that those work but any others are my own type of combinations i thought of being possible with the help of a chakra release chart.
If this chart confuses you all you have to do is follow the lines of the respective element if this still confuses you here are two other charts thats a little more simple
The missing element here is steel, and here is the other chart for this if this type still confuses you lol
Possible combinations
Fire x wind = lightning
Fire x water = steam
Fire x lightning = inferno
Fire x earth = lava
Water x wind = ice
Water x fire = steam
Water x lightning = storm
Water x earth = wood
Lightning x wind = plasma
Lightning x fire = inferno
Lightning x water = storm
Lightning x earth = steel
Wind x fire= scorch
Wind x water = ice
Wind x lightning = plasma
Wind x earth = sand
Fire x water = steam
Fire x lightning = inferno
Fire x earth = lava
Water x wind = ice
Water x fire = steam
Water x lightning = storm
Water x earth = wood
Lightning x wind = plasma
Lightning x fire = inferno
Lightning x water = storm
Lightning x earth = steel
Wind x fire= scorch
Wind x water = ice
Wind x lightning = plasma
Wind x earth = sand
