My computer at work is 10 years old and wicked slow. Adobe Reader
takes forever to display .pdf files, particularly if they have lots of
images. I can watch it assemble the page piece by piece. As such, I
was able to watch the images from the latest White Wolf Quarterly .pdf
gradually pop up, and it turns out that the image of Shattering is of
the full card, with Twilight Camp popping up in front of it
afterwards.

*BOGGLE* If true, this classifies as a major *WTF*?!? It seems like an
incredible waste of technology, not to mention file space, just to acheive
the effect of a card set down on top of another card. And, some smart-ass
might figure a way to decode the file and see the card whose text was
not intended to be released (at least, in theory). Or someone might see
it by accident. Truly weird!

After 20 or so refreshes, here's the text of Shattering:

Shattering
Action
1 blood
chi
dem
pro

Requires an anarch.

chi: +1 stealth action. (D) Look at another Methuselah's hand and
discard a card from it.
dem: +2 stealth action. Burn an event (undirected, no matter who
controls the event).

!!! Burn an event? After the fact? Relatively easily?
("Frederick the Weak plays The Remasking at 2 stealth...")
I didn't expect that.

pro: (D) Inflict 2 unpreventable damage on a ready minion.
