Detection

PerDC 22 to notice sound dampening
StlDC 22 (trained)
InitNone

To the naked eye, the area looks normal, though keen observers might notice dust motes hanging perfectly still in the air. Beneath the surface, the air is thick with invisible, vibrating threads of mana.

Standard Engagement

Trigger

A creature within the area speaks louder than a whisper, moves in metal armor without a successful Stealth check, or engages in combat.

Routine

None

Reset

The loom automatically re-attunes and resets 1 hour after it is triggered.

Resonant Burst

The loom releases a 15-foot burst of sonic energy centered on the triggering creature. All creatures in the area take 4d6 sonic damage and must attempt a DC 21 Fortitude save. On a failure, they are deafened for 1 minute. On a critical failure, they are also stunned 1 and knocked prone by the concussive force.

Vulnerability to Silence

A silence spell cast so that its area overlaps with the loom prevents the hazard from triggering for the duration of the spell.

Description
