Magic Name: Dust Manipulation
Magic Type: Caster
Description: It is as simple as it sounds. Dust consists of fine-grained particles that piece together solid matter and tend to originate from a myriad of sources. Examples of such sources are plant pollen, soil, outdoor minerals, coal, ashes, human skin cells, pencil shavings, nail shavings, textile fibers, hair bits, paper fibers, extremely small bits of broken glass, and almost anything that a broom will easily sweep up. But in great amounts this power is extraordinarily fatal. The enabler of this professedly manageable charm can compose and shape a devastating dust particle cloud, disband the pliable veil and invade every available orifice, which could incite allergies, temporary blindness or agonizing suffocation. The dispersion of it additionally converts the mass into a makeshift barrier which could expand to protect herself and others.
Unique Abilities:
- Ability: When surrounded purely by nature Vera accumulates a 45% buff to spell damage. It must be noted, however, that while her resistance is slightly higher in the face of dust attacks, she is human and can still be given a taste of her own medicine.

Description: Raising a hand and targeting an area within the spell's range, the user allows their magic to run free. Dust begins to rise up in an area spanning 60 meters, spreading outwards at 30 meters per second, before beginning to circulate, creating a massive, storm-like cyclone of swirling, extremely fine grains of dust. Every opponent caught in the spell, regardless of defenses, will be blinded for their next post as the dust penetrates even the strongest of defenses. Opponents can only be blinded once every other post max, but the blinding effect may be reapplied if opponents are hit again after the duration of the blinding effect runs out. Further, opponents caught in this attack are also doomed to breathe in the same dust, cutting of their air supply and causing severe coughing, these two factos combined immobilizing all opponents within the Area of Effect. This effect also penetrates all shields as per rules for Auxiliary spells. Opponents may only be immobilized for one post max, and only once every other post, though the immobilization effect may be reapplied if opponents are hit again after the duration of the immobilization effect runs out.
