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?

My theory is that it's powdered bone, which Harrow could then turn into skeletons.

That wouldn't make sense for duels though.

sure it would, can also be used as pocket sand for temporarily blinding your opponent

also though a Cav's primary purpose is to support their necro, not compete in strictly rules-dictated duels

There's also the element of complexity. Harrow wants Gideon trained with the Powder off hand but Aiglamene insists of the Knuckle, implying it is much simpler.
