Shattered (spell).jpg

Shatter causes a vibration powerful enough to burst both ordinary and magical objects apart. The destruction is effective enough to prevent the restoration of such items using cantrips or the mending spell. Only one object can be affected, with a limit of 50 lb. per experience level.

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.

Only hard objects may be shattered, however, made of materials such as wood, ceramic, brick, glass, metal, mineral and the like. Soft objects made of clay, leather, cloth and vegetable material are immune.
