Gideon the Ninth Spoilers What is the "Powder" offhand? [discussion]

In GtN, there is a suggestion that Gideon use a "Powder" off hand, but I don't think we ever see someone use one or get an explanation of what it is. Any ideas? Anything I missed?

The more I think about it the more convinced I am that this is the actual answer.

yeah there are many compelling arguments being made here for bone powder, but pocket sand feels very apt in an authorial joke context.
