In order to build casings or cartridges, you must have knowledge of
the 'explosives' and 'firearms proficiency' skills.
'Build casing' spends a miniscule amount of gold to manufacture a paper
casing and wadding suitable for holding the bullet and propellant
necessary for creating a cartridge. The paper must be carefully shaped
and can tear if one is not careful.
'Build cartridge' arranges the components within a casing to make a
proper cartridge, provided all of the necessary items are present.
To make a cartridge, you must have a bullet, like the bullets used for
slings. The bullet must be made of a soft metal. Lead is commonly used.
The propellant has three ingredients, all of them spellcomps:
1. Composition CARBON with a fire affinity.
2. A MINERAL with either a fire affinity or a composition of SULFUR,
PHOSPHOR or MAGNESIA.
3. Composition SALT or KALIUM, of any affinity.
A common recipe consists of coal, raw sulfur, and saltpeter.
Put the bullet and 1lb of each ingredient in the casing (for a
total of four items) to complete the cartridge. You can use the
'split' command to divide spellcomps into smaller portions.
