Samum

== ==
"Zerrikanian wizards have learned to harness the energy of hot desert storms and bind it into an arcane mixture. When detonated, the Samum releases this energy and stuns opponents with the ferocity of desert winds."
Upon detonation, this bomb stuns any creatures within range, provided they are not immune to this effect.
=== Source ===
* Samum

Geralt starts the game with five Samum bombs and the formula.
=== Journal entry ===
:A Zerrikanian invention, Samum found its way North thanks to merchants and was later adopted by the witchers. The bomb stuns and immobilizes all creatures within range, rendering them defenseless against the witcher's blade.
:This bomb is ineffective against creatures resistant to Stunning.

Samum is one of the bombs that can be used to destroy monster nests, and works well as a means to stun foes while preserving Stamina. Be careful not to get caught in the blast as it will prevent properly targeting enemies until the effect wears off. Up to two of these can be placed in a slot at one time.
Geralt already has the formula to make it at the start of Lilac and Gooseberries.
