Notes[]

  • This spell does not have a somatic component, so arcane spell failure from the caster's armor and shield is ignored when this spell is cast.
  • The "sonic" descriptor mentioned in-game is not used by this spell.
  • When targeted onto a usable, non-plot object directly, this spell destroys the object as if the fortitude save was failed.
  • Due to a .2da bug, wail of the banshee is not an additional counterspell of silence.
