Flash Powder

Contents
Appearance
A majority of alchemists will store flash powder in one of two more common receptacles. These are usually either a small leather sack, or a clay jar/bottle. Very rarely is flash powder stored in a glass container, as there aren't many visually appealing qualities in the powder.
Rarity
Flash Powder is a common recipe that most alchemists learn rather early on, however it's use is not widely seen. It could be requested from any alchemist, but it is not likely to see it for sale in a shop window. This is likely due to the risks that storing it in large quantities might propose.
Recipe
Recipe:
Base: N/A
- Mundane: Light x2
- Mundane: Chaos x1
- Mundane: Death x1
Dyes may be added to the process to make the light a certain color, to no effect beyond aesthetic.
Creation
Flash Powder may be created through the particular process detailed below:
[1] Mix the “Mundane: Chaos” and “Mundane: Death” symbols together until they are rendered a powder.
[2] Liquify the light symbol in a base of water, and allow the powder to soak in the product. Add in the optional dye to the base liquid if wanting to make the light a certain color.
Usage
A simple powder that may be used to stun opponents. Either by detonation or forceful contact by being thrown, this powder will create a harmless combustion - resulting in a bright light. This light may be used to disorient any individual(s) within a single meter of the combustion, rendering them virtually blind for a single emote following. This is not total blindness, rather leaving the victim(s) sight blurry and unable to be focused, preventing them from doing something like attacking clearly. They may still move about if they so wish, though would be dazed for the single emote duration. Flash powder is often sent out in the form of tiny wrapped parchments, optimally aimed for the face or vicinity of the target(s) gaze.
