Snippet #2478968

"The powder itself will not ignite easily, but explodes near silently. Not like it gives off much force. The fruit, from the fireflower plant in the draekon swamps, is quick to light and sticky when burning. Mix that with the spark from the flint, and you have a throw-able fire bomb. Still, it is the fire that would kill anything in that blast radius, due to the low power of the powder." Requin explained after the test. To those who know a ounce of knowledge of the swamps, the second thing they were taught was to never, ever, step on a fireflower. They liked to explode in a huge flame when the stem snaps, creating a flint-like spark.

"Now for what you are going to want to do is take an ounce of silverfruit dust, ground liferoot, and dried ground zyphen, mix them with a pinch of gramel dust, dried black nector, and wiffen scrapings. Then shake them all together violently. They will only explode from flame, plus you want them to be mixed evenly, or they become unreliable. That would be the last thing we would want. After that, pour 2 teaspoons of that into a flask, filling the rest of the space with fireflower juice. I will go set up something flammable to test on." Requin said to Athir before rummaging around the various other parts of his room.
