This skill allows you to smash certain pieces of equipment into their magical essences with a tenderizing hammer.
When you acquire the skill:
- Torg looks up at you. "Lemme show you something," he says, and points to a giant hammer in the back corner that you hadn't noticed before. "This is the Malus of Forethought. You're probably strong enough to use it now. You can pulverize stuff with your regular tenderizing hammer, but the Malus allows you to combine the essences of things you pulverize."
Items obtained by using this skill
Powders
Nuggets
Wads
Wads give one adventure and take one spleen hit. Additionally, each wad gives Muscle, Mysticality, and Moxie substats and an effect that lasts ten adventures. The effects give a bonus varying from +10% to +30% to each stat (+60% total spread across all three) and +10 elemental damage. Twinkly wads only give +10% to all stats and +5 melee and spell damage.
Elemental wads can be transmuted to other elements by cooking them with a twinkly wad with the skill The Way of Sauce.
Using the skill Rainbow Gravitation, it is possible to combine the elemental wads into a more powerful wad:
There are two types of equipment which pulverize into more powerful wads:
| Wad type
| Muscle substats
| Mysticality substats
| Moxie substats
| Adventure gain
| Spleen

Elemental Jewels
Elemental jewels can be obtained by pulverizing equipment which would produce elemental wads, at 1% of the rate of wads. They are jewelrymaking components for really expensive jewelry. They were added with the advent of NS13.
Other Exceptions
- Equipment from or crafted from materials from The Sea yield one sea salt crystal when pulverized.
- Equipment smithed from depleted Grimacite (depleted Grimacite astrolabe, depleted Grimacite grappling hook, depleted Grimacite gravy boat, depleted Grimacite hammer, depleted Grimacite ninja mask, depleted Grimacite shinguards, depleted Grimacite weightlifting belt) yield one chunk of depleted Grimacite when pulverized.
- Equipment made from sugar sheet yields one sugar shard when pulverized.
How Much Do You Get?
How much you get from smashing an item depends on its power; the table below shows the relation between power and what smashing an item will yield. For equipment with no visible power, such as Accessories and Off-hand Items, the requirement can be used as a guide (but may not always be correct, as some items have their requirements decoupled from their power).
Each elemental wad has a 1% chance of being replaced by an elemental jewel instead.

What Kind Do You Get?
Pulverizing items that deliver elemental damage may yield elemental powders/nuggets/wads of the same elemental type.
Pulverizing items that protect from elemental damage may yield elemental powders/nuggets/wads of the types that element is most vulnerable toward. Example: pulverizing a lihc face (spooky resistance) yields hot and stench powders. (See Elements)
Pulverizing items that are enchanted but which neither protect from nor deliver elemental damage produces only twinkly powders/nuggets/wads. The only exceptions to this rule are items which can be purchased directly from NPC stores or made entirely from purchaseable components (such as the Gnollish autoplunger), these produce useless powder.
Items that yield more than one type of powder/nugget/wad will give each type with equal probability. (E.g. If an item gives exactly one nugget, but may give either a spooky, a hot, or a twinkly nugget, you have a 33% chance of each one.)
Pulverizing unenchanted items (including starting equipment, NPC store items, Wand of Nagamar) yields only useless powder, which can be used for nothing.
Pulverizing an ultra rare will yield an ultimate wad in addition to the normal powder/nuggets/wads as above.
Pulverizing a boss reward from Hobopolis, or one of Mother Slime's clan-distributable drops will give an epic wad.
After NS-13, the four components of the Antique Arms And Armor outfit, which used to smash to wads, smash to useless powder.
