don't see any reason to tamper with it, myself!

Perhaps "splintering" instead of "shattering" ?

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

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.

Hi
Sellic reported the following on the forum:
<http://projectaon.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=gotopost&board=helpwanted&thread=706&post=38807>
Book 17, section 290
Quote:
The Deathstaff disintegrates in his skeletal hand ... together with the
shattering remnants of the Deathstaff.
[shattered would better fit in the description. The remnants of
disintegration are not going to shatter anything anymore.]
