Doesn't Read Safety Manuals

Lv 15 An unpredictable side effect of embueing your weapons with so much archaic magic over your travels has causes them to... on occasion ...without warning... fire a fireball, rather than ammunition.
(This effect can be dangerous to the end user, and depending on the specifics of your campaign may be removed by your DM, and replaced with a different spell of equal strength)

Starting at lv 15 every time you're about to roll a Ranged attack with a fire arm, first roll a d100, if it's between a 90-100, your next shot consumes no ammo, and is a 4th level fireball. BUT Roll another d100 after that, if you roll a 1 on the d100, the fireball misfires, and detonated wherever the barrel of your firearm is, potentially impacting you, and your party.

This can happen an amount of times equal to your INT modifier
