(except in Rebirth)

Black Powder is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth.

Effect[ | ]

  • Walking in a circle will spawn a pentagram symbol on the floor, which deals 10 damage per tick to enemies within it.
    • (except in Repentance) This does not affect flying enemies.

Notes[ | ]

  • The trail of black powder left on the floor will quickly disappear, meaning that there is an effective limit to the size of the pentagram that can be created, though bigger pentagrams can be created if the player has higher movement speed.
  • The traced pattern does not have to be perfectly circular; closed shapes such as squares or very narrow crescents will work.

Interactions[ | ]

  • (in Afterbirth †)Lost CorkLost Cork: Although the powder trail is wider in appearance, it has no effect on how easily a valid shape is determined.

Synergies[ | ]

  • Collectible Ventricle Razor iconVentricle Razor: When the Ventricle Razor portals are placed on the opposite wall of a room and Isaac goes from one portal to another, a pentagram symbol can be created which covers almost the whole room.

Trivia[ | ]

  • The pickup quote may be a reference to the Pearl Jam song of the name "Spin the black circle".
