Swords to Dust

This is where +1 magnitude for complexity comes in handy. Then, a Finesse roll could be justified to consider the peasants' pitchforks as a Group distinct from the grogs', um, greatswords.

I think, that most troupes allow a magus to affect "all those implements the peasants are wielding against me and my grogs" as a group target, without bothering much about the intentions of the peasants, and in which sense they wield them. The spell itself would need no knowledge of intent, or power of distinction between weapons and farm implements, at all.

If you can put the peasants to sleep without affecting your grogs, you can affect their weapons. The rest comes with how platonic ideals work IYS, but "weapons" or "king" certainly are.

Right. And this is an issue of positioning - hence of grog tactics.

Or I might not care, and destroy the stuff they wield - weapon, farm implement or eating utensil.
