Wailing wind Wailing wind was a divine magic spell available to druid s of Eldath , the Mother Guardian of Groves . It warned the caster of any intrusion on a designated space and carried the sound of the intruder to the caster . Effects . A beginning caster could alarm a volume of space up to the equivalent of a 10 ft ( 3 m ) cube up to 15 ft ( 4 . 6 m ) away . This maximum volume increased dramatically for higher level casters while the range increased at a more moderate , linear rate . The area of effect was described verbally in the casting of the spell and could conform to a room , a passageway , a doorway , a cave mouth , a cavern , " etc . " When any creature larger than a common honeybee entered the designated area , the " wailing wind " whistled from the intruder ' s location toward the caster , carrying any speech or noises with it for one minute , but fading out after 100 yd ( 91 m ) . Again , higher level casters could extend this duration and range . The " wailing wind " had a unique tone and could be heard by anything with ears . Any speech or sound from the trigger location was amplified by the " wind " to assist the listener ( s ) in recognizing the potential threat . Once triggered , the caster could dismiss the " wind " before the duration ended , if desired . For beginning druids , the " wailing wind " could only be set off once , but more experienced druids got multiple uses from this spell . The caster had to be on the same plane of existence as the alarmed location for the " wind " to blow in the right direction , otherwise that activation of the spell was wasted . Components . Only verbal chants and describing the area to be alarmed were required to cast this spell .
Sphere of annihilation A sphere of annihilation was a globe of absolute blackness , a ball of nothingness 2 feet in diameter . Description . The object was actually a hole in the continuity of the multiverse . Any matter that came in contact with a sphere was instantly sucked into the void , gone , and utterly destroyed , with the exception of artifact s . Only the direct intervention of a deity could restore an annihilated character . A sphere of annihilation is static , resting in some spot as if it were a normal hole . It can be caused to move , however , by mental effort ( think of this as a mundane form of telekinesis , too weak to move actual objects but a force to which the sphere , being weightless , is sensitive ) . A characters ability to gain control of a sphere of annihilation ( or to keep controlling one ) is based on the result of a control check against DC 30 ( a move action ) . A control check is 1d20 + character level + character Int modifier . If the check succeeds , the character can move the sphere ( perhaps to bring it into contact with an enemy ) as a free action . Control of a sphere can be established from as far away as 40 feet ( the character need not approach too closely ) . Once control is established , it must be maintained by continuing to make control checks ( all DC 30 ) each round . For as long as a character maintains control ( does not fail a check ) in subsequent rounds , he can control the sphere from a distance of 40 feet + 10 feet per character level . The sphere ’ s speed in a round is 10 feet + 5 feet for every 5 points by which the character ’ s control check result in that round exceeded 30 . If a control check fails , the sphere slides 10 feet in the direction of the character attempting to move it . If two or more creatures vie for control of a sphere of annihilation , the rolls are opposed . If none are successful , the sphere slips toward the one who rolled lowest . Should a gate spell be cast upon a sphere of annihilation , there is a 50 % chance ( 01 – 50 on d % ) that the spell destroys it , a 35 % chance ( 51 – 85 ) that the spell does nothing , and a 15 % chance ( 86 – 100 ) that a gap is torn in the spatial fabric , catapulting everything within a 180 - foot radius into another plane . If a rod of cancellation touches a sphere of annihilation , they negate each other in a tremendous explosion . Everything within a 60 - foot radius takes 2d6x10 points of damage . Dispel magic and mage ' s disjunction have no effect on a sphere .
