Bluepowder

Bluepowder is a chemical explosive that functions like blackpowder regardless of humidity. Bluepowder is also relatively slow burning after initial combustion, making it useful for underwater lanterns.
Despite its usefulness, bluepowder discharges far less energy when combusting than regular blackpowder, making it less popular in drier climates and non sailor societies. 
This lack of power makes portable bluepowder weapons unlikely to pierce the hulls of ships, making it ubiquituous among the dalmer.
== History ==
Bluepowder has historically been used in the pelagic realm by the various inhabitants to create lanterns (though modern lanterns use coloil), firearms and explosives that function even underwater.
