The Magnesium Firestarter is a block of magnesium with a striker for making sparks. It starts fires without fuel or matches. The game groups it with survival gear.
It suits campers and anyone who lives away from towns. Its strength is a long life, with about fifty uses in a tiny, light tool. It can also be scraped down into tinder.
It is most common in camping stores. Closets, sheds and garages keep one now and then.
Using
The firestarter starts a campfire like any other fire starter. Light Candle and Light Hurricane Lantern both accept it.
Make Magnesium Shavings scrapes the block to make Magnesium Shavings. The shavings serve as tinder to help catch a fire.
The firestarter gives about fifty uses. The metal Lighter gives about thirty-two per fill, and the Lighter - Disposable gives about sixty-six. The firestarter sits between them in uses.
Upkeep
A new firestarter gives about fifty uses. Each fire started or each batch of shavings draws it down. Once worn through, another fire starter has to take over.

Locations
Camping stores are the best place to look, on shelves and in storage about one time in seven. Closets hold one about one time in ten. Garage crates and sheds are nearly as good. Zombies in dean outfits carry one now and then. Tents, outdoor supply stores and campers among the dead give smaller chances. Survivor safehouses, shelters and attics turn one up only rarely.
