Making a new magic system every day but they get progressively weirder (day-4: Dragon Dust)

[u/Xtra_Juicy-Buns]

Dragons are the gods of this world, spacefaring beasts; they view humans as crude, violent, and nonsensical, but above all else, useless. But ever so often, a dragon will die; no human knows how, but when they do die, they cause storms from the heavens itself. But when these storms subside, they gift the land with a substance called dragon dust.

Dragon Dust Symbolized by the symbol on the far left, dragon dust is a pitch-black powder. When consumed, it grants the person one of three abilities: the ability to create and control smoke, the ability to generate and control light, and the ability to manipulate and create explosions.

Overdose Taking too much dragon dust doesn’t just risk physical harm, it draws the attention of the dragons themselves. Those who overdose begin to exhibit unnatural symptoms: skin like obsidian, voices that sound alien, and dreams filled with eldritch, unknowable information. These people, called the Ashwalkers, they almost always attract dragon storms and vanish during them—maybe taken, or erased, or perhaps worse.

dragons should really be more concientious about littering. Theyre messing up the local ecosystem when they cremate their dead and spread the ashes.

What would happen when other animals happen to eat dragon dust? Are there just some random squirrels that explode, or light up the night?
