how do you roll them bones (dice)?
BTW, i added this to the lore yesterday:
Grayce was the Capitol of the Ptolemai Empire. Grayce was barely managing to stay under the magic population number that would summon the monsters. One day a woman from Grayce was washing clothes when a monster flew overhead, no doubt to enforce their law. This woman was sick of seeing the monsters and how the fiends filled her with dread so she sought an audience with the emporer about the issue of freeing themselves from their oppression. The Emporer thought back to the years of his own life, what he knew of his father's, what he knew of his grandfather's and realized it washigh time to do somethijng about it. He was so pompous that he bet his life and the lives of the whole city that he could take them down. Little did he know that the stakes would be even higher. He had his scientists, engineers, and blacksmiths look into making weapons capable of bringing down these fiends. 50 years after the project was started. The emporer looked upon them and was in awe. He had never seen their like. During the last 50 years, he had also commanded that those population numbers. That Night, the emporer prepared to spring his trap when the monsters came to attack. It turned out his mighty weapons weren't mighty enough, for the monsters came and burned everything including the famed weapons. The monsters weren't about to stop at Grayce. They burned the whole of the empire to ash. It seemed the smoke filled the sky forever until at last it cleared onto an empire that was no longer. The emporer's mistake, they say, was that weapons without the spark of a magic of the gods themselves would do no harm unto the monsters

The question isn't can you break a mundane object of no particular plot relevance, merely if you wish to. The rules say for tasks within the purview of a bound word, you only roll for truly superhuman feats, and only completely impossible feats require a miracle. It also calls out that 'showing off' never costs effort. This isn't an important plot point. You can just choose whether you want to reveal you can shatter a sword. Even if a miracle is required, you can use a free 'showing off' miracle, if you like.
