Mini-Bombs (+1)
Mini-Bombs would be an explosive item that's light enough to push around like a mirror. In fact, they would follow mirror movement rules. A direct thrust into the mini-bomb would cause it to explode (same thrusts that would shatter mirrors). The explosion would be smaller that a regular bombs, say, all of the squares around the mini-bomb except the one the sword thrust came from (this makes them possible to use as a weapon instead of just a hazard). Mini-bombs would not be affected by fuses, but would detonate if in radius of other explosions (including fegundo, bomb and mini-bomb explosions.) If they were detonated by an explosion, all neighboring squares would detonate. Unlike bombs, mini-bombs are small enough for adders to eat. This would cause the adder to lose one segment as it detonated internally, but not cause a detonation outside the adder. Unlike mirrors they would not leave stepping stones when destroyed in shallow water, and of course would not reflect beams.
Undecided: What should happen if pushed onto hot tiles? They could have the same continuing movement rules as most characters and monsters, detonate immediately, or not be affected.
Potential puzzle uses: A minibomb maze would be less immediately threatening than a bomb maze, but also less static. While they're harder to trigger, if one goes off you'd get the same nasty chain reactions.
Minibombs could be used to eliminate enemies that are unreachable due to door + pressure plate arrangements, force arrows, one way trap doors. Their explosions also could ignite just out of reach fuses.
They could be used to kill or re-size unreachable adders or to defeat adders with a swordless character.
