Background of Gunpowder

They were trying to create an elixir for immortality but ironically made a deadly explosive powder

They found it was very deadly when a scientist was smoking near the gunpowder and it caught on fire and blew up the factory

Gunpowder is made up of 75% Potassium Nitrate, 15% Charcoal and 10% Sulfur

At that point in time they discovered they could use it for many different things like flaming arrows and starting fires
