I betchya that instead of "put out fire" (tricky cross-Elemental stuff going on there - Water would be the best for "Put out fire") they have "Make no dust" or "Lay dust" or something similar (it really needs a Plant specialist rather than Dirt from the Earth pantheon, though, since the offending dust is a by-product of the grain).

Heck, even Kadone's "Gravity" would work, since it's the air spaces between the dust particles which are *really* to blame - make all the grain dust too heavy to float and you don't have the problem.

Just a bit of practical explosives knowledge coming to the fore...
