In characteristic p, the exact sequence 1→Ks×​p​Ks×​→Ks×​/(Ks×​)p→1 has a quotient killed by p. The characteristic p Galois dimension bound makes its second cohomology zero. Hence multiplication by p on Br(K) is surjective. The root map is injective, and its failure of surjectivity on a separable closure is encoded by the quotient.
