	Sundering is ''very'' dangerous in enemy hands, since monster base damage gets tripled too. For example, a [[naga warrior]] with a [[war axe]] of sundering can deal up to 105 damage, and even more if [[might]]ed. Using a spell or item that ~~affect~~ positioning, such as [[Blink]] or [[Gell's gravitambourine]], is an easy way to reset sundering. ~~Outright preventing~~ the enemy from attacking will work too.
