Explosive Aeolipile
This metal sphere is a radical take on an ancient steam engine. A small ceramic sphere is held above a bronze tripod. As an action you can cause a flame to ignite beneath the sphere, heating the liquid inside and causing it to spin rapidly. After 10 minutes the liquid in the sphere reaches such a temperature that it explodes, dealing 5d10 piercing damage and 5d10 fire damage to each creature in 30 feet. Smothering the flame before this time stops the process.
