Calcified Ceiling Chimes
A collection of razor-sharp, translucent stalactites that have grown into thin, hollow tubes. These formations vibrate in sympathy with nearby sounds, creating a beautiful but deadly harmonic resonance that can cause the entire ceiling to shatter and fall.

Detection
“Hundreds of slender, crystalline needles hang from the ceiling, glowing with a faint phosphorescence. The air around them seems to shimmer with a visible haze of dust and vibration.”
Standard Engagement
A creature speaks in a loud voice, a sonic spell is cast within 30 feet, or a creature moves at more than half its Speed within 15 feet of the area.
None
The hazard does not reset; the stalactites take decades to grow back after falling.
The stalactites shatter and rain down in a 15-foot radius. Creatures in the area take 4d6 piercing damage (DC 20 basic Reflex save). On a critical failure, the creature is also Deafened for 1 minute.
If the trigger is a sonic spell or effect, the Reflex save DC increases to 22 as the vibration is significantly more violent.
