If a large composite object, like a wagon, is too large to be affected by the spell, the caster can nevertheless damage some part, such as a wheel or axle. The spell could be used to shatter a board in the side of a ship's hull or a support beam in a building, as these are likewise singular objects connected to a constructed whole.

Grenade-like Effects

When an object shatters, the effects are similar to those of a grenade. Those within a combat hex, or 5 ft. of the explosion, suffer 1-4 hit points of damage. If the object shatters while in the hands or upon the person of a creature, the damage sustained is 2-8. The overall affected area is a 25 wide diameter circle.

Prepared food within the circle is ruined, as random shards within cause 2-5 damage if the food is eaten. Humans and demi-humans who walk in bare feet into the circle will suffer 1 damage per round. Most humanoids have tougher skin and won't be thus affected.
