That depends entirely on what the purple powder consists of. What does it smell like? Typically, any powder used in rituals is used as both a base and a focus for the spell. When placed in shoes, the energy of friction and sweat can be used to force your will into motion. (beware of purple socks...) When used as incense and burned, the spell often takes the form of a prayer, dispersing the will into open air.

Red cabbage powder is made by extracting the flavin pigment from red cabbage leaves. This is usually done by boiling in an ethanol and water mixture, resulting in a deep-red/purple solution. This solution is then evaporated under reduced pressure and heat to yield a red/purple powder. The powder smells like cabbage, is soluble in water, and can be used as a dye or acid/base indicator. Many food manufacturers use red cabbage dye as a more 'natural' alternative to synthetic dyes, which are all suspected carcinogens.
