Brittlebreak Spell

E/F/M:

When the Effect of Brittlebreak is activated, the caster is able to select. within the Time indicated, one subject object for attention. The object cannot exceed a volume of about 1 cubic foot per 10 STEEP points of the practitioner in this K/S Sub-Area. and a portion of an object can never be subject to this Casting. If the object is already fragile (such as a container of glass or crystal, china, pottery), the dweomer will cause it to shatter. Stouter objects of such match. as rope, ivory, bone, wood, or leather will become dry and brittle. so that if in the CT of Effect duration they arc strongly stressed or come into forceful contact with a .rd (or sharp). solid substance, they will break. Stone. crystalline. and metal subject objects are degraded by one step. so that. their effective hardness, durability, and resistance is lowered for that Critical Tum. Metal armor of normal sort, for example. struck when under this Effect, will be so damaged as if it had negated its maximum possible I'D (or twice that effect if actually so doing): a weapon ponying will be considered of lower quality than actual a. composition type reduced by one (combination to wood, metal to combination). Striking or Heka stress will require a roll for the subject item, the item and the stress dictating the percentage chance for breakage, with a base 10% probability for a generally unbreakable sort under low impact or stress from Heka-energy conduction, absorption. etc.
