Smoke sphere

Smoke spheres were small incendiary devices crafted in Qadib, the City of Sages, in the Free Cities of Zakhara.

Description
A black smoke sphere measured in diameter.

Uses
When thrown forcefully, a smoke sphere would explode upon striking a solid object. The explosion ignited a small flame and a spherical cloud of dark smoke measuring in diameter. The smoke hindered both normal vision and infravision and lasted for several minutes depending on the wind conditions. A smoke sphere exposed to fire would immediately explode.

Smoke spheres could only be purchased in rare alchemical shops throughout the Land of Fate. Their price was 8–18 gold pieces a piece in Qadib, the city of their origin, and 16–36 gold pieces a piece elsewhere in Zakhara.

History
Smoke spheres were commonly used by street performers and rogues. They were carried by holy slayers and every member of the Brotherhood of the True Flame.
