What does Shatter do? RSS

If a creature uses a Shatter ability on an attended, non-magical weapon and the wielder fails the save, what happens to the weapon?

Is it destroyed, or does it just get the Broken condition? The answer seems to lie in how much damage it done, but Shatter doesn't list any damage...

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells---final/shatter

The spell says it "sunders" a solid item and sunder says:

Quote:


If your attack is successful, you deal damage to the item normally. Damage that exceeds the object's Hardness is subtracted from its hit points. If an object has equal to or less than half its total hit points remaining, it gains the broken condition (see Conditions). If the damage you deal would reduce the object to less than 0 hit points, you can choose to destroy it. If you do not choose to destroy it, the object is left with only 1 hit point and the broken condition.

Osirion (Paizo Charter Superscriber)

This is an interesting question. I'm fairly certain the answer is that the item is destroyed (shattered so to speak), but it would be interesting to allow the caster the choice of leaving it "broken".
