Crystal bomb

The crystal bomb was a weapon pioneered by the Zayre during the Cruentusian War. Created under pressure by Carsal Redharn for more powerful Zayre weapons, crystal bombs were specially engineered crystals kept in special shells that curbed their higher than normal growth rates. When fired and impacted into a surface, said shells shattered and the crystal would rapidly expand, engulfing and absorbing everything in a radius. Concentrated crystal bombardment could crystallize entire areas. The weapon would prove fairly effective, and the Zayre would boast of it overcoming their lack of advanced technology.
