This spell provides the caster with greater than human hearing. He is able to hear the slightest movement or noise. This heightened awareness gives the caster the following benefits:

• The caster is extremely difficult to surprise, gaining a +4 bonus to initiative rolls.
• The caster is able to Hear Noise as a Thief does, with a 99% chance of success.
• The caster is able to isolate a single sound from a jumble of conversation. He could hear a whispered remark amidst a crowd from across the room.
• The caster's enhanced hearing has a drawback. If he is confronted with a spell that affects his hearing he has no chance to Save, and suffers double damage.
