Shatter
Shatter is a rune effect in Frost Nova, a Utility Wizard skill.
This rune effect causes the Frost Nova to chain, where any enemies who are frozen by the first cast have a 50% chance to explode with an additional Frost Nova that's fully as effective as the original, if they die while frozen. As the freezing only lasts 3 seconds at best, it's tough to get too many kills during this time, but very effective if you do.
There's been a bug with the graphic for the additional frost nova explosions since this rune was first enabled in the beta, and while other monsters can be frozen properly, players never see the additional Frost Nova explosion graphics.
