I assume it's combustible, like lamp oil, but at a MUCH higher rate. When it's confined, the heat expands, forcing the ball out of the tube. But what does the wadding...? Of course, it's to stop the fire from the powder from simply escaping around the ball. Ingenious! I simply MUST get this into my lab." Just then she heard the boom, and sighed. "Although I suppose that will have to wait. I'll attend to the queen myself, don't worry." And with that she nabbed another strange pouch out of a nearby soldier's hand, saying "I'll be taking that, thanks." And hurried off to talk to the queen.
