Sonic Resonance
By:

Spell Level: 3

Sphere: Protection

Range: 20 yards

Components: V, S, M

Duration: 1 round per level

Casting Time: 7

Area of Effect: 30ft. hemisphere

Saving Throw: Special

Once cast a loud sonic boom will be heard in the area of effect requiring a savings throw versus spell to avoid a deafening effect causing a -2 to all attack rolls, creatures with specifically noted heightened hearing have a -3 penalty to the save. After the sonic boom has dissipated there will be a low vibratory hum. This hum makes it impossible for any sound based attacks to work. Creatures that using hearing instead of sight are treated as blind for the duration of the spell. Sound attacks that also cause damage due to a harmonic vibration, such as an Emerald Dragon are nullified. Any one that stays inside the area of effect will be protected for the duration of the spell. The spell "SILENCE 15ft. RADIUS" will negate this spell and vice versa.
