Particulate Magic

Particulate Magic is a Caster Magic involving the manipulation of any manner of small particles for various purposes.

Description
Particulate Magic is a Caster Magic that allows the user to manipulate small particles, usually dust in the air, for use in battle or scouting. For offence, the dust can be condensed into any manner of weapons, including axes, spears, etc., which can then be flung at the enemy. This magic also has defensive applications, since the dust can be condensed into a surprisingly solid wall. Outside of combat, the dust can be used to search for people by dispersing it in multiple directions, and once a particle hits the target the caster will be given an image of where they are. This use of particulate magic is especially effective since the particles used are incredibly small, so only targets who know that they are being chased will be aware of it unless they have an ability that makes them aware of the particles' presence.

Dust in the air isn't the only type of particle that can be manipulated however, it is just the most commonly used since it allows for the caster to not have to bring their own. If the caster wishes to use a different type of particle, ground-up Magic Bombs that have been armed with Bomb Magic may be used, giving the caster access to Gunpowder Magic. Since this is a Caster Magic, mages who come from families that are accustomed to exclusively using Holder Magic find this magic difficult, being able to manipulate only a limited amount of particles, but they can still make effective use of this magic if they use it in combination with Bomb Magic to use Gunpowder Magic.
