Notes:
Some of the damping flour would have become ground into the cloth in the room (and about the only cloth left in the room is that which people are wearing); John, Arthur, and D still have some cleaning up to do before they can cast unencumbered by the dust, although the lion's share of the flour is now in John's workroom.

The spell Jack used to clear the room is the same one he used to retrieve John's ring, minus most of the shielding that keeps such things from happening. The spell making and maintaining the hole was safe inside Jack's shield, and everything was whipped around into the hole in space.

Hope nobody lost their amulet....

As for the charge in the capacitor - it wasn't a full charge, which is why Jack didn't clear the entire room that way; it was, however, enough to clear Jack of the flour.

A thought on psionic powers: most of them would be highly individualized, as they are based more on innate ability than training. I would suggest assigning characteristics of them to individual characters rather than as a blanket on types.

A thought on damping dust: It couldn't be enchanted to hang in the air longer; attempting to enchant it would infuse the dust with magical energy, which it neutralizes. It could be chemically bound to a different material, however, to the same effect.
