Sparkler & Flare Compositions
Sparkler Compositions will burn slowly, giving off some sort of effect (most commonly sparking and occaisionally colored flames). These Sparkler Compositions are attached to a non heat-conducting metal wire so that you can hold it in your hand. Flare Compositions are much more energetic and usually give off a colored flame rather that sparks. These Flare Compositions are compressed into a tube and then primed with some specific prime, if necessary. They can then be used in signaling.
