You CAN destroy magic items. And this one has special rules for being broken, none of which mention having to be attuned to trigger it.

    "Retributive Strike" is a magic property (just like 'Power Strike' and its Spell List). You can't activate or benefit from magic properties on non-attuned Magic Items/Artifact.

    So if you break the Staff of Magi without using that Action, well it becomes just a broken Staff.

    Also thanks for teaching me that one can indeed can break magic items, that non-destructible nature only applies to Artifacts.

    It can be argued that you are not benefiting from the magic property in this instance, but instead suffering from it - in which case, it is valid for it to explode when run over.

    If you try to use it as a bomb without attuning it, then it will fail.
