yeah, it means “still disintegrating”, not “able to shatter something else”

I think it's important to have the full context:
http://www.projectaon.org/en/xhtml/lw/17tdoi/sect290.htm
Your final blow draws a hellish shriek from the skull of Deathlord Ixiataaga,
so loud that it batters the walls and shakes the plinth on which you stand. The
Deathstaff disintegrates in his skeletal hand and he topples backwards towards
the fiery moat. Yet as he does so, his body crumbles into a plume of grey-green
dust which is sucked away into the whirling maw of the Shadow Gate, together
with the shattering remnants of the Deathstaff.
From the summary below, I would have agreed with the change - but reading the
context above, it looks like it could easily still be breaking apart.
I'm not sure the change would improve the overall flavour of the text?
James.
