Wail of the Banshee (Necromancy) Level: 9 Range: 0 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 9 Duration: Instantaneous Area of Effect: 30-ft.-radius Saving Throw: Neg. At the culmination of this dreadful spell, the wizard screams like a banshee (groaning spirit). For each level of the caster, one listener within 30 feet hears the wail. Those who fail a saving throw vs. death magic die instantly. The caster is not affected by the spell, but cannot choose who will be affected. If there are more potential victims than the level of the caster, the DM randomly determines which creatures are affected. Creatures who cannot hear (due to ear plugs, deafness, etc.) may be targets, but cannot be affected and are considered to automatically make their saving throws. The material component is a lock of hair from an evil female elf. Notes: Uncommon spell (ToM).
