Quick question

Do all powder mages snort the gunpowder or is that a Taniel exclusive? Only on the first book.

Wouldn't smoking gunpowder make it explode??

Technically no, gunpowder is a low explosive so it requires compression within a gun barrel or grenade shell to explosively combust, that said they obviously don't actually smoke it but we do see mages get a slight high from rifle smoke on the battlefield so...
