How to Blow Things Up: Class 6 Period 2

As handwavily advised, the class met in the Danger Shop.  Aly was waiting for them there, tossing a clay ball from hand to hand.

"Morning everybody," she said with a grin as the class assembled.  "Today we're talking about magical explosives.  I have a few here and then a few of your classmates have agreed to demonstrate their abilities."

"First, however, I want to let you know that together with Deadpool's Mercenary class and Yondaime's Ninhaing class, we're going to go on a camp out over the weekend to play with what we've all learned and generally have a good time.  I'll have more information for you later today or tomorrow, but it's something I hope everyone will have fun with."

She held up the clay globe she'd been tossing around.  "This is blazebalm.  It's a magical explosive from my world.  Upon contact with air or water, it'll immediately explode.  Thus the clay protection.  It's a fairly strong explosive, not quite on the category of, say, C4, but stronger than your typical grenade."  Aly turned and tossed it into a wooden trunk.  About a second later, the box exploded in a fireball of trunk.  "You can also trigger the blazebalm with magic if you have the Gift.  We blew up a city's ports with it once."  She grinned.  "Good stuff."

Aly moved over to another shelf, this one filled with clay pots.  "Over here, we have a slightly different type of explosive.  This one's referred to as sorcerer's fire.  It's a bit similar to this world's napalm only made with magic and much, much more volatile.  These pots are spelling to keep it from igniting, but any bit that comes out of the pot - or spills - or leaks through a crack will automatically catch on fire and set anything it touches on fire as well.  Clothes, skin, stone, wood, anything.  Which, as you can imagine makes it a very dangerous if deadly weapon."

"And finally a few of your classmates have volunteered to show a few different ways they've learned to create explosions and - ah - chaos.  But I'm going to let them speak for themselves on that one.  You can all try these two out, continue to be careful with them.  We're in the Danger Shop, but these are still weapons.  After that, find a partner or two and see what you think about the magical explosives.  Better?  Worse?  Completely unfair?"

[OOC: My abject apologies for getting this up so late.  I was unexpectedly away for a bit of the morning and then my brain wouldn't cooperate.  'Sorcercer's fire' is 'wizardfire' from Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.  Please wait for the OCD is up.  Thank you SO MUCH to Zuko, Rikku, and Ronan for volunteering to demonstrate!  *squishes all three of you*]

Rikku grinned a little. "I know! They, uh, they absorb spells and they'll totally stick around for a couple hours unless you use 'em up or send them off. Which I can, if they get annoying."

She bounced. "Did you, uh, what did you think? About the big booms??!"

"Very cool, bra," Jude assured her. And then grinned. "Dude! I have moons!"
the_merriest: (science-y)

She giggled. "They're pretty, aren't they? Usually nul spells are totally Yunie's thing, but they're so easy to mix up. I mean, do you know how many bomb cores I have? And you can use electro marbles instead, and ..." Rikku shook her head. "I'm talking shop again, huh?"

"That's okay," Jude chuckled. "It's cute."
the_merriest: ((chibi) whoa cool)

Rikku bounced on her toes. "I never get to show this off, that's why I wanted you to come here. 'Cause I was all scientific with it, I mean, you can mix up all kinds of things and there are so, so, so many different results you can get, and sometimes I'd swap out one of the elements for something similar, and see what changed, you know?"

She gave him a quick squeeze. "Thanks for coming, by the way. And being part of the demonstration and all."

Jude hugged her back. "It was awesome, bra, and you're so cool. And I got moons."
the_merriest: (shiiiiiiny)

Rikku laughed again, leaning into him. "I just can't believe I got to blow stuff up. And dude, if I had known you wanted moons, I would have hit you with one of these way before now."
