Bell

A bell was a hollow metal tool that made a ringing noise when struck.

Description
As well as being used as ringing devices, bells were material components for a number of spells. Bells were used in spells such as alarm, vocalize, and Leomund's secure shelter (should it be augmented with other spells), watchware, Detho's delirium, and elemental guide.

Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue sold many types of bells, such as golden ones for 5 gp each. Dinner bells were also sold here, and were cast from either brass or silver. Standard silver bells were 1 gp each, and brass bells were 1 ep each. Finally, the catalogue stocked ornate bell pulls, which were embroidered with fine Kozakuran silk.

Powers
There were several magical bells throughout the lands of Toril, some were:
 * Mithral bells, a chain of bells made of mithral, which when thrown like a grenade, would explode in a sound burst.
 * The Bell of Attricus was a powerful magic bell that could form an enchanted shield around a settlement.

Notable Bells

 * The Bell in the Depths, part of the remains of Northkeep, a sunken city. The bell could never be stopped from its mysterious ringing.
