Do you know where natural deposits of this tend to form? With a production method that complex, we'll very likely only be able to get it by reverse-engineering it when we find the material ourselves.

Its commonly found in caves that bats inhabit and can be mistaken for several varieties of rock salt as it is technically exactly that by chemical definition. The bat deposits are usually formed on the wall and generate almost exactly by the process I described.

Note that the reason it's found in caves that bats inhabit is (as I understand it) because saltpeter crystallizes under any pile of well-aged excrement. Makes you wonder just how explosive the Bat Cave is, given how many bats are in the cave.

Without a fuel it is perfectly inert. If you throw a block of wood at the wall it may spontaneously ignite but saltpeter on its own is almost entirely safe. Almost.

Hmm, so to get saltpeter we need to convince Hazou that it's worth his time to, in the course of his random experimentation with many varied materials, go to various caves and pick things from the walls. Sounds possible, we'd have to focus Hazou on the task for a while but if we can find the saltpeter then we can get Hazou to figure out its potential and try and artificially grow it.

Or convince him to look at fireworks, assuming those things've been invented already.

I have a thing you guys might like.

It's buried a little though.

You'll have to dig for it :S

But I promise it'll be worth it.

Just a little further!

Pick a spoiler, any spoiler!

Nope. It's never in the first one.
Ha! Good job. Just one more, I promise.

^ I lied
What makes you think it'd be in the last one either?
YAY! Keep going.

I TOLD YOU, ITS NEVER IN THE FIRST ONE.
Nope! Go back.
Not here!

And special thanks to @OliWhail for gathering feedback from peoples, coordinating with the artist throughout the project, and for faithfully preserving my anonymity as the benefactor.

...Er, wait.

Kagome is not throwing explosives and does not wield a katana 2/10 for inaccuracy. :V
Yet! Growth Mindset, people!
But seriously, that is really freaking cool.
