Fission

fission is a miscellaneous item in item asylum. It appears as a large black orb that explodes after 10 seconds.
== Functionality ==
fission starts off with a 15 second cooldown when first possessed in the user's inventory.
Once used, the player spawns a dark orb with smaller pink orbs inside it. Over time, the amount of pink orbs increases until the dark orb begins to shrink, emitting pink beams of light. The emission of the pink beams grows faster until the orb finally implodes with a ginormous area of effect. The orb takes roughly 9 seconds to implode. The orb has different effects the closer hostile players are to it:
*Prior to its explosion:
**Players within 32 studs of the orb are pulled towards it and take 1–6 damage per tick. This range slowly increases as the orb becomes unstable, ultimately reaching 48 studs immediately before its implosion.
**Players within 16 studs of the orb gain one instance of long-lasting fire every tick in addition to the previously listed effects, massively increasing damage dealt before and after its explosion.
*As part of its explosion:
**Players within 125 studs of the epicenter gain one short-lived instance of fire, dealing 2 damage. Players in this range are dealt little to no knockback, and ragdoll.
**Players within 100–76 studs of the epicenter take 3–6 damage and gain several instances of fire, dealing 9–16 damage total, as well as moderate knockback and ragdoll. Below 76 studs, each increment of 4 studs closer to the epicenter increases damage dealt by 4 and increases knockback and instances of fire proportionally. Total damage surpasses 100 at roughly 50 studs from epicenter.
**Players within 24 studs of the epicenter are cursed for 9 seconds and dealt 90 damage as well as gaining numerous instances of fire, extremely high knockback, and are ragdolled. 
fission has a 30 second cooldown between uses.
== Tips ==
* Much like the grenade, place it into a group of players and watch them die.
* Try to use knockback weapons like comically large spoon to throw users into it.
* Due to fission's huge destructive capabilities, you can become targeted very quickly. Be careful about how many people see you place the orb.
* This weapon can be used very similarly to silly gas in TC. Just remember that you must get up close in order to use the item as opposed to throwing it from a distance.
* This item is extremely powerful on small maps such as beef and smallplate.
** This also means that it is very effective against certain bosses, e.g. matter. 
*Fission's hitbox does not activate if the user is dead. So make sure you are not at low health when using this item. But it still does 2 fire damage even if the user is dead.

==Trivia== 
*fission's VFX may be based off of this concept video.
*fission's tooltip is a reference to a Youtube short from kurzgesagt.
*Due to inconsistencies in the quantity of fire instances given by the item, the maximum possible damage fission can deal varies between approximately 400 and 700.
==Changes== 
*v1.5.0
** Added fission.
***On release, the orb took a much longer time to explode. This was shortened to 9 seconds within 24 hours.
