Type: Spell
Cost: (10 :light / 8 :light)   5 :light / 4 :light
Effect: Destroy all weapon and shield permanents in play.

Additional information: Doesn't affect protected weapons/shields. Doesn't affect animated weapons. Only removes one counter from Bonewall.

Too overpowered? Would it work better in some different element? (:gravity? :air?) Alternatively one of a player's two permanents (chosen at random) could be rewound instead of destroyed. Then the spell could also be a tad cheaper.

Edit: Lowered cost.

Too costly, I'd rather just play those two Deflags and wouldn't have to worry about my weapons.

Light element is good, as the synergy with Glory/MirrorS is very visible, but cost could be more like 5base/3-4up.

will this also effect the protected shields/weapons?
if not, it's too costly...

I agree with bobcamel pulvy and deflag are both better options especially since this doesn't work against protected weapons perhaps this could do something like fill weapon slot with a dagger or fill weapon and shield with some kind of block for a certain number of turns. Or possibly just make it so neither player can use weapons or shields for the rest of the game but that could be OP especially if it made it into the deck of an FG.

Personally I feel permanent destruction is a powerful effect... and here you get to take out two of them with a single card. Though with the Pulverizer around I suppose this card's effect isn't that big of a deal. It also has it's drawbacks when compared with Deflagration, so I suppose a lower price would be apropriate, even though permanent destruction needen't be as strong or effective as in more destructive elements.
