Purple Smoke Flare

__NOTOC__
The Purple Smoke Flare item is a pyrotechnic device used primarily to mark a location by placing a purple smoke column object on the terrain.
Some uses that people have come up with:
* marking locations for raids
* smoke bomb the Flag Rooms in the Warsong Gulch battleground
* props for floor shows and fashion shows

This item is crafted with Engineering (335); taught by Schematic: Purple Smoke Flare, a world drop.
==Notes==
The Smoke Flares are cheap recipes for increasing engineering skill from 335, however, the White Smoke Flare is the cheapest, lacking a dye, and the White Smoke Flare schematic is the most readily available. 
Unlike the Hunter Flare ability, Smoke Flares do not influence stealth detection.
