bomb

The plain iron charge of the bomb family. Once thrown, its fuse burns for about 1.25 seconds, then the blast reaches 5 blocks and can deal up to 14 damage with savage knockback.

It is the baseline pattern for the whole line: quick to throw, short on patience, and better at opening ground or punting vermin off ledges than at delicate close work. A Diatom can spawn carrying one, which is why bombs often appear first as a field lesson, not as a carefully prepared stockpile.
