Flour Magic: Fantasy

Some people's magic comes upon them like a thunderstorm, complete with little bolts of lightning appearing around them. Some people's comes like an explosion of fairy glitter. Some people's magic shows no signs at all--and those are the ones you need to watch out for. Some people's magic shifts the light around them when they cast, a pretty effect that won't ruin any of their clothes, although it does make choosing some colors to wear inadvisable. My magic? Well, my magic makes me look like I just had a twenty-five pound bag of flour upended over me. I could be a pretty good clown, I guess, but I never much liked having people laugh at me, even if it was provoked by something I did on purpose to make them laugh. It isn't actually flour, either--that at least would give me a nice side-line, providing gently used flour to cheap bakers, like that sea mage I heard about who always gets fish rained upon him when he casts his magic. Now he just sets out nets around him first, then sells his catch after he's worked whatever sea magic it was he meant to work. It isn't flour, it isn’t talc, it isn't anything else we've identified yet, but it sure does look like I maddened a baker whenever I cast magic. Dust-cloths are a must.
