At the culmination of this dreadful spell, the wizard screams like a banshee. Up to 10 (+ rank) listeners within 30 feet hear the wail and must make a magic save or die instantly.
The wizard cannot be the victim of his own spell, nor can he choose who will be affected. If there are more potential victims than allowable targets, the GM must randomly determine which creatures are affected. Creatures who cannot hear (due to ear plugs, deafness, etc.) can be targets but cannot be affected and are considered to automatically make their saving throws. |
