It allows an individual to shatter the shields and weapons of their opponents, leaving them vulnerable or impotent. It is most effective when used on someone who already possesses a reserve of inner strength, but might be useful to the wearer of a suit of Runeplate and it clearly valuable to the wielder of a Trollslayer's Crescent.

Other versions of this ritual exist; The Ruinous Blade is a similar ritual that is often used with greatswords or two-handed axes, while The Trollcrusher's Mattock is an old name for the ritual attributed to the Steinr runesmiths or Hahnmark.
Common Elements
This ritual often involves symbols of Courage, and invocations of physically powerful creatures such as bears, gryphons or dragons. Sometimes riven shields are used as a component, and the target may be encouraged to undertake a symbollic act of destruction as part of the performance such as breaking a board with fist or foot.
Verys, the run of might is commonly used with this ritual, either drawn on the arms of the target or on their two-handed weapon.
