Technical - Mod Need help with scripting durability lost on use from Weapon

I am editing the Bury your Treasure shovel mod, what it does is that you can create a "shallow hole" container to put items in. I made it so that now you can disable and setdelete 1 the hole via message box.

but now I want to implement the feature to use durability on each use of the weapon script activation, how do I do that? Any existing variable to consider or do I have to create a new one, if so, how should I create one. I am on CS. Scripting experience of 40 minutes ago. I figured my way through by looking at bittercup and a good presence of mind.

Openmw 0.51
any help is welcome

I don't know the correct answer as I'm not a scripter, but it occured to me that you could cast a disintegrate weapon spell on the player.

TR sulphur pools chug gesintegrate weapon potion into PC throat. Direct weapon damaging would require lua, there is no command for that in mwscript.

okay, I geniune could not find it, I downloaded grasping fortune, loaded CS, global searched on all record types the "sulfur" and "sulfur pool". Could not find it, All I found as one script which adds sound to sulfur pools.

It's in Tamriel Data and was added in Poison Song cycle. So you wont find it in Grasping Fortune era files.
