This handy-dandy portable incendiary device stems from Crackitus's encounters with the undead creatures known as "Mummies." Dry as kindling from their millennia long storage in desert tombs, Crackitus theorized that the most convenient way to dispose of these un-domesticatable wrapped up "zombies" was to set them aflame. This would reduce them to ashes in mere moments. 

Crackitus's unique system stores a highly flammable gas enabling him to "throw" a flame up to 15 feet, keeping him well clear of those grasping hands!
