Soul Soil Redstone Components (Nether Update idea)

Since the Nether Update is out, wouldn't it be great if the nether has not only one new ore, but also influence redstone?
I introduce to you: Soul soil dust, or Soul dust.
We have a Soul variant of torches and lanterns...
Why not of redstone components? There is also a redstone torch!
It would make the Nehter more usefull for technical Minecraft players and it will make the Nether more 'lively' with players!

This is how you make Soul Soil redstone components:
Pick your normal redstone components and put it in a crafting table with Soul soil... and tada!

What is the difference between normal Redstone and Soul Soil Redstone?
Well, there is almost no difference between it.
But, this will be a perfect opportunity to add some kind of blue stone what the community wanted!
And you may ask: 'How can we convert normal Redstone to Soul Soil Redstone and reverse? Well, this can be done via observers. They detect a block difference and put out the correct singal of redstone!

We have the next level of armour and tools and now a next level for redstone!

Edit:
You may can do instead a new ore:
Soul Soil Dust Ore

You make the redstone components the same as normal redstone components, but the redstone is replaced with Soul Soil Dust.

    I think you forgot to say what soul soil dust would do differently from redstone dust. Is it just aesthetic?

    i dont think mojang should ever add bluestone/bluestone components
    But i do believe theres a good idea lying underneath

    I believe something like this would make more sense

    Redstone Dust shouldn't connect to the Soul Dust

    Soul Dust Torch should have a lower signal strength than a redstone torch, just as a soul soil torch has a lower light level than a normal torch
