Cursed Cannonballs
The text confirms that Sea of Thieves features eight weapons, including cannons, and describes encounters with hostile skeletons and ghost fleets, but it never details specialized ammo mechanics, fire over-time effects, or the existence of volcanic rounds. Consequently, no statements about their lore, story, or usage guide can be constructed from the source.

Lore & Background
While the text notes that Skeleton Forts exist and are indicated by skull-shaped clouds, it provides no narrative about ammunition evolution or specific strategies against Cursed Ships involving fire damage.
In Their Own Story
The source contains no story elements describing captains loading 'volcanic shot' or gunners using glowing orange spheres to burn skeletons. The text describes players encountering hostile ships and engaging in naval battles, but it does not depict specific combat scenes involving specialized ammunition or the burning of skeletal crews.
Reader's Guide
The source does not provide a guide for using Cursed Cannonballs. It states that players can man cannons and that water flows into damaged ship areas, which are patched with wood planks, but it offers no instructions on acquiring, loading, or utilizing specialized ammunition types against specific enemy factions.
