After I fought Kenedy the Claw in mb for a mostly useless stun spell, I was skeptical about the Grizzleheim level 35 quest, which involved fighting three hard bad guys with no help allowed. But I like Baldur Goldpaws, and figured he wouldn't send me on a wild goose chase. Surely there would be a cool spell at the end of this! So I got the spell, "Shatter," which as I understand it was supposed to shatter blades. Cool! I rushed off on my little broom to try it at once! I encountered some Howlers in Mirkholm Keep, and immediately applied the Shatter spell on a storm blade. Then I sat back and waited for the magic to happen. Alas, it was not to be. The blade turned kind of dark, and I thought, okay, maybe Shatter was an exaggeration. Then, the Howler cast his storm spell, and got the full benefit of his blade! Baldur, I trusted you!
Seriously, does anyone know something about this Shatter spell I'm missing? Because I will put it in the drawer with Stun, Pierce, and Cleanse otherwise. Any advice or helpful comment would be appreciated. I'd really like to get my friendship with Baldur back on track. Tabitha Mythrider, Master Conjurer

Shatter is an awesome spell. It removes all positive wards from the target. In other words, it drops all their shields but leaves your traps (such as myth trap and feint) intact.
Shatter only removes positive shields on the enemy. And it is a very effective spell. It gets rid of all shields even if people are stacking shields it is a very effective PvP spell, and it is a good against ice enemies through out the spiral. I don't see the problem in it, alas i have not even started Grizzlehiem on my myth i'm trying to work on it but i can't wait till i get this spell as it is amazing.
I think I may have figured it out--it removes those negative shields, like -80% ones. Not blades. To be honest I find the use of "positive" and "negative" confusing in the game. Because a -80% myth shield would be, logically, a "negative" shield, wouldn't it? Oh well.

When they say "positive" and "negative," I think they mean that it is positive or negative from the perspective of the one being equipped with that charm or ward.
Thanks for the helpful replies. I confess I've only been playing for a couple of months and I'm still sorting out some of the terminology. I didn't really know the difference between wards and charms, for example--so thanks for clarifying. It turns out the Shatter spell is really quite useful, as everyone said! So now I will go buy Baldur a tankard of (Root-) Mead and apologize :).
