Kipiq are Kids with Pyrotechnics.

Are Kipiqs the ones who discovered gunpowder? Or just take advantage of the discovery to make fireworks?

Can they make small bombs?

Cause if so, I'm rethinking the whole, Developing-Hidden-Leaf-Ninja-School with traps, expert stealth and poison weapons.

Maybe skipping right to researching more explosive forms of attack and defense.

...or... Why not both?

Gunpowder hasn't been discovered. We're not even sure it will be a thing in Elyria.

It would be fun to see if the direction the research develops is in the direction of air rifles instead. :D

Yeah, what the kypiq has isn't energetic enough to work as gunpowder. They essentially fling color burning powders into the air for their "fireworks."

Not that that sounds lacking in tactical uses, though. ;)

Hope that helps! :)

The first thing that came to mind when I read this was ninja vanish, except Kypiq vanish (and in a really pretty cloud of violet smoke).

Please no gun powder!

Lol traps and bombs and poison oh my! I'm not sure that you are embracing the Kypiq lifestyle. Unless of course you plan to invent a "humane" Janoa trap, and then release them into the wild later on sans weapons of course...

It will be fairly insignificant without the metallurgy to keep guns from shattering from the overpressure.

Haha release them into the wild. That is funny lol. Only if they were released they might kill again! The humane thing might be to put the poor Janoa down

Put it in a cardboard tube, then, and call it a rocket!

Even less accurate than early guns, but oh so discombobulating to the unprepared.

Will the Kypiq invent Hwachas?
