What is smokepowder?

>I have a question for you spelljamming gurus: what is smokepowder made of
and
>how is it made? I know its a magical mixture but not much else is said
about
>its manufacture or ingredients in the official material.


In the SAVAGE COAST campaign setting, smokepowder can be created by
combining vermeil in a specific proportion with steel seed. In all other
respects,
smokepowder conforms to the description in the DUNGEON MASTER Guide.
It can be made only by someone with the appropriate skill and materials (as

detailed in the "Proficiencies" chapter). Smokepowder is relatively common
in Cimarron County, uncommon in the other Savage Baronies and Renardy,
and rare elsewhere.

I know that this isn't from the spelljammer books but it was the best that
I
could find.  For more details on Savage Coast see TSR's home pages
