Notes

• This grenade gains  Quickly Ticking Mine after spending one turn on the ground. A red circle is added as a visual cue, denoting its blast radius. If picked up in this state, it explodes in the owner's inventory.
• If picked up immediately, it can be safely used as a grenade even after the battle is over. If there is still  Quickly Ticking Mine condition in the item tooltip, dropping it on the ground causes it to automatically explode after 2 turns.
• Unlike the Orthon Explosive, this version of the bomb inflicts normal  Burning, not  Infernal Burning despite the tooltip saying otherwise.
• In-game description mentions thunder damage and knock back, but there is no thunder damage nor knock back.

Bugs

• When using  Throw, the radius looks like 4 m / 13 ft, but the actual radius is only 2 m / 7 ft, same as the water surface created by throwing a water bottle.
• Most characters do not respond or turn hostile when their allies are damaged or even killed by this item's explosion, including the chain explosions caused by it.
