Uses

• Flares can be used to generate light on the ground. For each flare dropped separately on the same hex, the intensity of the color grows. If equipped in a hand slot, a flare will make player glow.
• Flares can be used as a throwing weapon.
• When a flare is used inside a random encounter (lit and thrown/placed on the ground), it will make the encounter visible to all players on The World map. These are called Flare Traps, which can be in Turn-Based. Beware!
