Same things as bombs, just that the explosion isn't in real time, but it lasts 4 turns. When the explosion is occuring, all the explosion tiles act as a wall. So that means that monster can walk over or under (or left or right) of the explosion, which leads to different lynchpins :

* Create an explosion bridge for monsters
* Strike bombs over a force arrow with your sword to prevent adders to get into dead ends
* Create a bridge for seeps and manipulate them so that they all die after the explosion.

There are many other possibilities, also with Builders and Napalm Bombs markers.

Since it's napalm, there's only a main explosion, the rest is flames. So the orbs will be hit only the first turn.

Interesting. I think it should last 5 turns, though, for consistency.

Hmm. What about orbs that are hit? Would they be hit each turn?

Just when I think I've seen everything, there's something new that comes along and piques my interest.

what effect would this have on water and other elements such as oremites?

Same as other bombs, but you can't pass through the explosion.

A slightly different idea, but the mention of Napalm made me think that perhaps the bomb explosion could instead leave behind napalm, making all the tiles affected act as hot tiles.

I agree that it should leave behind hot tiles. But I am a little confused. Does it explode its entire radius the first turn? I think that for this bomb it would be better if it exploded like this (this is what I originally thought of when you said it explodes for 5 turns):

....... ....... ....... xxxxxxx
....... ....... .xxxxx. x.....x
....... ..xxx.. .x...x. x.....x
...b... ..x.x.. .x...x. x.....x
....... ..xxx.. .x...x. x.....x
....... ....... .xxxxx. x.....x
....... ....... ....... xxxxxxx

No, my idea is the bomb, just with another color and that the explosion isn't animated in real time, but it lasts 5 turns and it acts as a wall.

It would make more sense to animate it then use another tile to indicate the flames left behind... wait... I think it should either kill stuff or let stuff fly over it instead of being a normal wall.
