Spark Pearl

Spark Pearls are pearls grown in the warms coasts of Niniad. Only faintly magical by themselves, merchants can collect them and heighten their enchantment to become a reusable fire and warming device.
A altered Spark Pearl bought from a shopkeep has the ability to start fires, warm bodies in the cold, and heat cold food. For those who can light fires with a snap of their fingers or have easy access to dry wood and kindling, Spark Pearls have little use. However, the people of the treeless Hills of Daltain and the cold, wet areas of the Halpool Swamps often will have Spark Pearls on hand.
To light a fire with it, a person simply needs to put the Pearl wherever they want to fire to be and it will burn as a medium sized fire for six hours. If nestled in good kindling or wood, even after the six hours are up, the fire can still burn like normal. If in an area or time in which someone might not want to produce smoke or light, or fear catching fire to something, the Pearl can simply heat an area just like a medium fire would, but dark and smokeless. Reheating food works the same way as the flameless warmth, but the Pearl is too hot to touch directly for the duration.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

An internal flame burns forever inside of these pearls, making them warm to the touch.

Manufacturing process

Someone needs to collect the natural Spark Pearls from the coasts which is a relatively safe job, barring any dangerous creatures that swim too close to shore. With a sprinkling of Blisterbark powder, the Spark Pearl catches flame and burns for an hour. Once the flame dies down it is ready for general use.
