How it works
At the highest point of its flight the Parachute Flare opens a chute and drifts down, carried by the wind. When it lands it lights a 200 px radius for eight seconds. If it comes down in water it goes out and sinks. Land only.
When to use it
- Reading the wind: the drift on the way down shows its direction and strength.
