Deconstruct was a powerful spell that would cause a person's molecular bonds to destabilize upon themselves, slowly transforming them into energy. This energy usually took the form of pure aether itself, and the quantity of it depended on the quality of the target this skill was used on.
However, it was not a deus ex machina spell. It would not kill everyone Anthony pointed at but worked on a circumstantial basis.
Against foes like these that had already been weakened, he was able to turn some of them fully into aether while others only had some body parts turned.
Stronger foes would only feel great discomfort in their body, so one could say it had a small stun/disruption effect. As for those weaker than Anthony, they would find themselves slowly turning into energy whether they liked it or not.
