<section begin=description /><noinclude>'''Vibration Chant''' direct</noinclude><includeonly>Directs</includeonly> a [[bard]]'s voice at an object that a player [[character]] or [[creature]] is holding in order to attempt to vibrate the item out of the wielder's hand.<section end=description /> A [[warding]] check is made to see if the item is dropped. With endrolls of 150 or greater total item destruction will result. When this shattering occurs it will also inflict [[Impact critical table|critical damage]] to the target.

This spellsong can be very useful in disabling creatures by getting rid of their weapons and/or shields for a very small [[mana]] cost.

''Note: It is not possible to shatter enchanted weapons.''
__NOTOC__
== Lore Benefit ==

Training in [[Mental Lore, Manipulation]] increases the chance to cause the target's weapon/shield to explode by reducing the endroll minimum. The minimum number of ranks to receive this benefit is one. With lore training there is a minimum endroll reduction bonus of 2 plus an additional reduction based on lore ranks. For ranks 1 to 5 the reduction is 1.2 per rank, ranks 6 to 10 (0.8 per rank), ranks 11 to 15 (0.6 per rank). The bonus for ranks >15 has not been sufficiently tested.

Examples:

5 ranks will reduce the minimum ER required to shatter an item from ER 150 to ER 142.

:{{mono|2 base + (5 * 1.2 per rank) <nowiki>=</nowiki> 8 total reduction}}

10 ranks will reduce the minimum ER from 150 to 138.

:{{mono|2 base + (5 * 1.2) + (5 * 0.8) <nowiki>=</nowiki> 12 total reduction}}

If the target is stunned, there is a flat reduction of 20 to the minimum ER threshold for shattering an item. This is in addition to any lore bonus. As an example, with 5 lore ranks the minimum endroll for shattering an item when the target is stunned is ER 122.
