Sybbyl0127 618 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Recipe: -Charcoal -Sulfur -Saltpeter -Pure Grain Alcohol Appearance: Black Powder appears in the form of a dark gray powder with lighter gray granules mixed in. Creation: The creation involves three components: Saltpeter, Sulfur, Charcoal. The composition is 75% Saltpeter, 15% Charcoal, 10% Sulfur. Each ingredient must be processed and ground down, with care not to breathe in the particulates. Prepare the charcoal first, or purchase it already made. Then take your charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur and grind those ingredients down into a very fine powder. Make sure to keep these ingredients separate for now. For the amount of the powdered mixes you've prepared, prepare about 2 cups of pure grain alcohol. First, pour half your alcohol slowly into the sulfur powder while it sits on a low heat in a wide pan. Stir it gently until the sulfur is dissolved, be very careful not to allow this mixture to catch fire while stirring. Once dissolved and stirred, you may then add the Charcoal and Saltpeter mixture. While the powders and mixing with the alcohol mixture, be sure to wear a mask to avoid inhaling any smoke. Turn off the heat, and store your mixture somewhere dark and cold for at least a day, then afterwards set it to dry in the sun. Once it is dried, break it back down into a powder and store it in a container somewhere cool and out of reach of children. [[ OOC: For obvious reasons, incorrect steps have been added to the creation process. This is not how you make real black powder. Please do not attempt this. ]] Raw Effect(s): A Highly reactive material, black powder when ignited will quickly spark and set on fire, only to die shortly after. This can find its uses in a variety of applications, one such is the use for fireworks, a glorious display during festivals. Signs & Symbols: [Fire] and [Earth] -Chaos x1 -Heat x2 -Burning x2 Redlines: - Cannot be weaponized unless specific lore states otherwise. - Black powder on its own can't be used to create explosions of any destructive scale. - Not an alchemical Recipe - Non-alchemists can make black powder, but only alchemists can extract its symbols as a reagent. - No ST sign required Credit to TaiwanNotChina for the original iteration Credit to Sorcerio for assisting with some details 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorcerio 4596 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Question: what's the purpose of rewriting this if the current lore already stands as valid and does not have any glaring problems? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olandyr 452 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I like it, previous iteration was a bit too vague. This seems to fix the problems and make it able to be made properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current write of black Powder recipe isn't actually craftable, its an invalid recipe from the old alchemy system This write really is basically just, making the recipe make sense in current alchemy There's literally no other changes I put it on a separate page as a rewrite because I wanted to change how it was worded, what with the bad grammar and all. And it needed better formatting 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Nah. For the simple reason that it won't be approached correctly by most folks who intend to use it. Alongside this, the name itself implies a real world application / use. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the same as the one currently accepted though, we haven't had any real issues with people using black powder in rp so I think its rather safe, doesnt need any drastic changes Although now that those misunderstandings I had were cleared up, I may just offer my fixes as an amendment to the currently accepted post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a new name it at the VERY least implies a disconnect from the real deal and what it can do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybbyl0127 618 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 Think we'll just use what I wrote here to edit current black powder to be properly formatted with current system so thissun will probably get moved to denied after Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
