Turns out cordium warheads are bad for your health. Also some sections of this video ended up being kinda laggy! I tried to cut it out the best I could but had to include some of the low frame rate sections to have the video make a little more sense, so apologies!

The fact that everyone saw this impossibly advanced and devastating high-energy round turn the very air it ripped through into spiraling plasma and immediately started screaming "THE WIZARD, HE CASTS AGAIN!" as if it were a perfectly genuine and rational threat during this sci-fi military operation is a great example of "rolling with the bit."
