Perilous Core

 is a type of item that creates a large explosion.

Mechanics
This item, when used in combat, creates a explosion with a two-tile range that has a base damage of 20 to 25 points. Without certain abilities, a hero can only use it on him or herself and must be at the center of the explosion.

If the hero has the Throw Items ability available to Alchemists and Boomstrikers, it can instead be thrown within a base range of seven tiles.

If the hero has the Shoot Items ability available to Trickshots, it can be used on any enemy within weapon range.
