Handheld Explosives

In-Game Text
Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes angry.
– Euripides, 480 - 406 BC
Most of the time, there is no predicting chymical instability; and yet certain substances apply themselves thoroughly that we can easily expect a BOOM! Handheld Explosives harness the knowledge of this branch of destructive science, teaching the practice (or art) of blowing things up.
About
Gunpowder can be purchaced in the Providence Stalls in 50g incrimnets for 15 
Silver Pieces. Unlike other powders, Gunpowder cannot be stored in a Dry Goods Bag, but instead 500g of Gunpowder can be stored in a 
Powder Horn, which can also be purchased in Providence for 500 Silver Pieces.
24g of Gunpowder makes 16x 
Boomsticks making each Boomstick worth about 1 Silver Piece. Boomsticks are used to blow up Boulders. To blow up a Boulder select your Boomstick from your inventory and right-click it on a source of Fire, such as a lit 
Torch or 
Fireplace. This will turn your Boomstick into a 
Lit Boomstick. You must now quickly select your Lit Boomstick and right-click it onto the Boulder you wish to blow up.
Blowing up a Boulder will scatter it's Stones in a short radius around where the Boulder was. You can then pick them up if you wish to save them.
A Boomstick can also be used to blow up 
Shellback Shells. To do so lit the Boomstick as usual and right-click the Lit Boomstick on the Shellback Shell to receive 9x 
Shell Fragments. You will also get a very light 
Bleed debuff.
Boomsticks can be stored a 
Boomstick Duffle Bag.
