Echoing Soul-Bell
A tarnished silver bell hangs from a gossamer-thin wire. When approached, the clapper strikes without physical touch, emitting a frequency that vibrates the very marrow of those nearby, attempting to lock their souls in a moment of static resonance.

Defenses
Detection
“The bell is roughly the size of a human head, etched with delicate swirling patterns that seem to move slightly in the periphery of vision. It hangs from a blackened iron bracket or a sturdy ceiling beam.”
Standard Engagement
A creature moves within 15 feet of the bell.
None
The bell resets after 1 minute as the resonance fades.
When triggered, the bell lets out a singular, bone-shaking chime. All creatures within a 15-foot emanation must attempt a DC 21 Will save. Critical Success: The creature is unaffected. Success: The creature is stunned 1. Failure: The creature takes 3d8+6 sonic damage and is stunned 2. Critical Failure: The creature takes 6d8+12 sonic damage and is stunned 3.
For 1 round after the bell rings, any creature that casts a spell with a verbal component within 15 feet of the bell takes 1d6 sonic damage as their own voice vibrates painfully against the bell's lingering chime.
