Dragonpowder

Description
Alchemists in the west first discovered this wondrous powder through a crumbling manuscript that came with a caravan from Khitai. Through much experimentation and loss of limb and life, they eventually stablized the formula with localized ingredients. Combined with other ingredients, Dragonpowder becomes a potent explosive - though many see it as a form of sorcery and refuse to use it in battle.
