(had this small idea)
It was a well known but not often talked about fact that Ozpin was losing his magic.
Slowly year after year, life after life he began to atrophy.
He explained it away as a consequence of his soul fusing with new humanities souls and their unattuned bodies, but in truth this was a lie.
Ozpin was losing his magic for one very simple and shameful reason.
Ozpin, once Ozma had been a Paladin.
He had taken oaths to let no evil live, to let no innocent suffer when he could stop it.
When that evil came in the form of his beloved Ozma betrayed those oaths.
Killing her would be one thing, putting her to rest he could do. But a paladin does not kill evil. They Destroy it.
If he were to strike Salem down that would be the end of her. No rest, no relief, just the destruction of her soul.
And until very recently he couldn't stand the thought of it.
But then he traveled with RWBY and JN_R (he tries not to think about the missing P).
And he sees their suffering. Wide hopeful eyes full of idealism faded with pain and sadness. It's heart-rending seeing these good kids suffer just because of his mistakes.
So he leaves them. He travels by himself. Over mountains and lakes and valley he walks alone. Until he reaches a burnt out castle.
She's waiting for him. Magic in her hands and a insult on her lips, ready to strike down a pitiful broken man.
"Oath Flame."
What meets her instead is a raging torrent of magic. Shaped like flames but white like someone had erased part of the picture that was reality.
Tyrian, emerald, and mercury didn't even have time to scream before they were no more.
This wasn't Ozpin the teacher come to uselessly throw his life away.
This was Ozma the failure finally come to uphold oaths.

In any case, after that pile of shit I am more motivated than ever to write RWBY fanfic that is fun. And let Jaune be a hero, Ruby develop, Yang stay Yang, Blake not be a shitty kitty, Pyrrha be more, Ren be cool, Nora be her wonderful self and the others be characters and not props for a bunch of morons trying to pander to broke insane people.

Here's a horror idea for you.
Salem and her group have been absorbed into a even more evil group that wants control of everything in existence.
That's right.
The Grimm have been acquired by Disney.

That makes me worry more. If KH can theoretically branch out into anything Disney then there is a chance for true horror.
RWBY meets high School musical. Or Howard the duck.

Dust allows for numerous effects on the world, ranging from Elemental attacks to Time Dilation, and with the use of Aura, it is possible to cause an even wider range of things to happen. So it should come as no surprise that medical applications for Dust were investigated and researched as thoroughly as the many other uses for the material over the course of centuries. Ranging from quacks trying to ingest gravity dust to become immortal, to more scientific approaches of using Air Dust to improve oxygen concentrations for patients with damaged lungs.
The holy grail sought in all this research was a way to transfer Aura from one person to another, which would speed healing and recovery from almost any injury and many ailments.
There were some early successes with transferring Aura via blood transfusions, but this was often hit or miss and potentially deadly until bloodtyping and safe blood transfusion and donation practices were discovered. Even then, it was entirely dependent on the donor's blood type and thus of somewhat limited utility.
It wasn't until the decade prior to the Great War that a real breakthrough was made by Lady Liath Airmed of Albion. An aristocratic lady, she had grown up with a keen interest in Dust, Aura, and medicine, and was a trained nurse who did extensive charity work to provide medical care to the poor and needy. Her husband Askel supported her research through his industrial concerns, as he had a keen interest in Dust and its scientificial and industrial uses. His lab was one of the first in Albion to begin active scientific study of Dust with the new invention of X-Ray cameras, and he made this available to his wife for her work. She studied how Aura moved through Dust and humans thanks to these and other early spectrographic sensors, and used what was then cutting edge knowledge on physics and chemistry to do some of the first real scientific analysis of the phenomenon. Thanks to this work and the volunteering of several Aura-unlocked individuals, Lady Airmed was able to analyze why Aura reacts with Dust and how.
Among her incredible discoveries was that some mixtures of Dust absorbed Aura at different frequencies than others. That Aura could have different frequencies. And that some frequencies of Aura could bypass the resistance put up by other people's Aura and be absorbed.
This breakthrough in particular allowed for Lady Airmed to create the first rudimentary mixtures of what she called "Panacea". She, being Aura unlocked, would place the mixture in a capsule that was strapped to her hand. She then placed the capsule against the patient, and flared her Aura. Thanks to the absorbing properties of the Dust Mixture, some of the Aura actually got through and the level of the patient's own Aura increased, improving their health. It worked.
However, there were drawbacks. This early version of the Healing Dust was only 5 percent efficient-For every point of Aura the patient gained, the donor lost twenty. Another drawback was that, like regular Dust, Healing Dust was essentially worthless after being used. Still another was that it was complicated to manufacture and required very specialized equipment. It was not until the Great War, with the necessity for massive industrialization and huge advancements in technology, that Healing Dust could be produced on a large scale.
A final drawback though was that there is a limit to how much Aura anyone could give to others. And as a result, people with powerful Auras were torn between being exceptional support or being exceptional front range combatants.
After the war, Medical Dust improved, and training for maximizing use of your Aura spread with the global Hunter system. With the post-war economic booms, the technology spread across Remnant and helped lead to the massive improvement in the quality of life across the planet seen by the modern day. Many medical breakthroughs have helped make Healing Dust far better. Even so, the maximum efficiency of Aura transfer through the most advanced Medical Dust is 25 percent, and still requires Aura powerful individual. But millions of people across Remnant enjoy better, healthier lives or have survived everything from Grimm attacks to natural disasters to disease outbreaks. While Aura infusions alone cannot cure every disease, they give everyone a far better chance of surviving them.
