The Magic of Sinaria Verlien

Sinaria's Soundwaves of Power

Lady Sinaria Verlien, the Countess of High Sonden, has developed a series of spells based on the power of sound. She is very proud of her work and teaches it in the Great School of Magic, although the high-level versions are only known to some Flaemish nobles. Each spell has its own frequency and pitch, but they have the appearance of a cone of colored waves starting from the casters extended palm and ending at the spells range.

Range: 50 feet

Duration: 1 round

Components: V, M

Casting Time: 4

Saving Throw: None

When this spell is used the caster has to choose a frequency and pitch affecting one kind of non-magical material (glass, metal, stone, etc.). All objects composed of this material within the area of effect, will be damaged to some extent. If the object is smaller than10 cubic feet, it will shatter into pieces. If it is larger, the material will develop serious cracks and the object will be very susceptible to damage (i.e. A brick wall may be cracked to an extent that one hit with a battering ram will break it.) This spell is extremely efficient against opponents in metal armor with metal weapons.

The material component of this spell is a piece of the chosen material to be affected.
