Fireball

The  is an artifact found in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha and all S.T.A.L.K.E.R. canon games.

"Crystallizes in the anomaly Scorcher. Fights well with radioactivity, though the heightened rate of energy exchange wears out the muscles of the moving apparatus. Won't be able to run for long. Artifact emits heat."

- Inventory description

"Born in the 'Burner' anomaly. Even though Fireball is a thermal artifact, it can be handled without far of being burned. This artifact is valued for its ability to maintain a temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit within a small radius, virtually regardless of its surroundings. Emits radiation."
