Thanks. OK, I read the help file closer and can see that now. I had previously interpreted statement "the effect can be quite satisfying" placed in front of the sentence about taking longer to recover for the more items shattered as that the more you shatter on the target the longer they are lagged for.

Now that it is the opposite I'm beginning to think this edge is not desirous. Adding more lag to a 3 round song is not satisfying. I've been playing with this song alot and have been trying to find a reason to use this song in PK, even if it is situational. I don't really understand what good this edge is now. The only benefit to it I can see would be shattering someone's return potion or something. But, considering the odds of shattering a glass item against it being the one you want and having it occur in the right situation it's just plain silly to even hope this can be a viable tactic. Right now I kind of feel like this was a waste of edge points. Your thoughts?

Also, could you please shed some insight into what does make an instrument effective? I had at one time thought it was instrument type. For instance, drums and horns would be good for epic, but, that doesn't seem completely true because I can think of a couple of drums that are not good for the epic style. I then thought it was level, as that is the only other statistical indicator I can see that distinguishes between instruments.
