"Note of Shattering" requires a percussion instrument to play. It is an "instant" song, meaning that it functions more like a typical spell. It will instantly shatter any exposed glass item on every person in the room. This includes items ranging from potions to some bits of equipment like spectacles and necklaces, so it is extremely versatile. However, it does not affect glass hidden in containers. The skill is particularly dangerous against alchemists.
It affects everyone in the room if not focused, including the bard's group. If a bard is planning to use this song, he would do well to let his group know so that they are able to conceal all of their glass items in containers.
