Fairy Dust

Fairy Dust is a magical item in Fairytale Land that is frequently collected by fairies and used by fairy godmothers. Not all fairy dust uses good magic.

History
The process of making fairy dust is shown in Dreamy by dwarfs shoveling the diamonds they mined in the tunnels onto a conveyor belt, which moves them until they all drop down into a mining cart and go through several turning wheel devices to be grinded into pink dust. Then, it is stored in a large machine, which Nova the fairy is seen to have used a handle to activate the dust in pouring out onto the center of her untied pouch for collection.

However, not all fairy dust is used for good magic. In Snow Falls, Snow White wore a pouch of dark fairy dust around her neck. She explains to Prince Charming that the fairy dust can have different effects, depending on what kind of fairy it is from.

In her case, the fairy dust she had was used to turn an adversary into something harmless. Snow was saving it to use on the Evil Queen, but is forced to use it when the Troll Group on the Troll Bridge grabbed hold of Prince Charming. Once the dust was flung on the trolls, they turned into insects. After that Charming stepped on one of them.

In An Apple Red as Blood, Blue Fairy and her flock of fairies are seen launching an aerial attack on the The Castle and they use fairy dust to incapacitate the guards enabling Snow white and the dwarfs to breach the castle. The guards unlike the trolls just collapse.
