Crumble vs dissolve

[Werekingdom]

Crumble vs dissolve:

To the best of my knowledge Crumble targets equipment compared to Dissolve which targets the mage.
So Arcane Ward would protect the equipment from Crumble, but not Dissolve.
Nullify would protect from Dissovle, but not Crumble since Crumble targets the equipment.

Is this correct? I'm looking at joining a mage war tournament, so I wanted to clarify the rules.

This is correct. Entirely.

Spot on! Crumble is an excellent spell because it bypasses Nullify. If you aren't going to be summoning creatures or melee attacking most turns (some books fall into each camp) then the Full Action has very little cost.

Crumble also bypasses Harshforge Plate.
