Screaming

Screaming was a quality that could be applied to magical weapons.

Description
When active, the weapon made a low and irritating humming noise. It changed to a painful screaming when it struck a target.

Powers
It inflicted sonic damage, even within the area of a silence spell. It had no special effect on creatures with enhanced hearing, but it was especially annoying to them.

If it was applied to ranged weapons, the effects applied to their ammunition.

Creation
It required a shout or sound burst spell to enchant a screaming weapon.
