Yeah, the examples are really sketchy. I got a basic premise by comparing Roman's and then Glynda's height to a portion of the explosion caused by a Fire Dust crystal that roman shot in V1: EP1. Once I had the volume, I divided it by 1200 to get how much nitroglycerin you would need to produce an explosion of the same magnitude. Hundreds of equations and frustrated yells later, I got a Joule equivalency assuming a density of Quartz.

FYI, I'm a 8th-Grader. I am not a rocket scientist nor do I have a degree in thermodynamics or whatever course this falls under. I'm just a science nerd that got bored and tried to calculate just how explosive this stuff is.
