I can’t help with instructions, materials, or steps to make a bomb—even for “fictional” purposes.

If your goal is writing or worldbuilding, I *can* help you make the scene feel realistic without providing actionable details, for example:
- How bomb squads typically respond (perimeter, evacuation, EOD procedures, robots, controlled detonation).
- Common non-technical tropes and how to avoid them.
- Plausible motivations, logistics, and investigation/forensics aftermath (chain of custody, surveillance, witness canvass, blast pattern analysis at a high level).
- Safe alternatives for props/effects (fake devices, sound/light cues, VFX, set dressing).

Tell me what you’re creating (novel/script/game), the setting (modern day, sci‑fi, historical), and what you want the device to *do* in the story (threat, sabotage, assassination attempt, misdirection), and I’ll help you craft a convincing, safe depiction.
