Notes and references edit

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 ^1.2 Ignites if thrown or placed onto a Fire surface
↑ Only ignites if placed onto a Fire surface. If thrown it creates a surface which ignites instantly, but there are no explosion effects.
↑ ^3.0 ^3.1 There is a bug common to Brilliant Retort and Smokepowder Bomb (of which the former is a variant) that applies multiple instances of damage to each creature in the blast range. Each instance of damage triggers its own saving throw.
