Food for thought:
No Longer Flatulent StonesThis conical contraption with a cylindrical base is launched out of our ballista as usual, yet its more aerodynamic shape allows it to be larger and carry more of our Heathen's Reward and yet still fly as far as present Firestorm shells. It also carries an enchantment of wind that causes it to burst when it strikes the ground, scattering flaming shards of pottery at high velocities.
Also, as an alternative to just going for a improvement to "MORE BOOM" let's try the tried-and-true recipe for turning gunpowder (Burns aggressively) into an explosive....by confining it in some relatively small area. I'm asking eS in Discord about what *might* happen should we just make a thicker Firestorm shell with a slightly different fuse.
Fire and ThunderAt present, Heathen's Reward explodes a little. The al-Chemists, however, were not satisfied. In attempting to prove that they were the maddest scientists around, they successfully demolished three more lab buildings and killed several assistants. Their results, however, are excellent. When contained in their new, thicker and stronger Firestorm Shells, Heathen's Reward will cause a large explosion after lighting on fire. To help the process along, the al-Chemists have provided a "fuse" that burns relatively slowly, and will be adjustable in the field, should that prove necessary.
ALRIGHTY: I asked eS about it, and he said that we don't know what happens if Heathen's Reward or Alsamma is confined. So, here's your confinement.
