Wreak havoc with a grave consequence (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ravage

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wreak havoc' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a grave consequence' is the wordplay.
'a grave' anagrams to 'RAVAGE'.
Though, I am not sure how this is indicated.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ravage that I've seen before include "Pillage or lay waste" , "Devastate, damage extensively" , "Cause extensive destruction" , "Lay waste, plunder" , "Act like a 6" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
