Origin[]

Mount Asama, located in Japan, erupted in 1783 causing widespread damage. The three-month-long eruption produced andesitic pumice, pyroclastic flows, lava flows, enlarged the cone and sent dust into the atmosphere. Due to the amount of dust sent into the skies it exacerbated what was already known as the "Great Tenmei Famine" destroying crop and crop production for the next five years. The eruption killed 1400 people initially and an additional 20,000 from the famine left in its wake.

Effects[]

When spread on the ground will show city where people are hidden, whether alive or deceased. Living signals will appear more vibrant and shaky, while the dead just stay in their place. Causes nearby ground to break apart with minimal force, throwing dirt particles into the air and subsequently the lungs.
