Power word, stun was a conjuration spell that stunned strong creatures.[3] Typically an arcane spell, it was also used by some clerics of the derro god Diirinka[11] and the elven goddess Sehanine Moonbow.[12]

Effects[]

As the power word was spoken, a single being chosen by caster was stunned; they didn't even need to hear the word. How long the creature was stunned depended on the power of the creature, but typically stunning would last between five seconds and a minute and a half. Very powerful creatures were not affected at all. A stunned creature could not act.[3]

Components[]

The spell required only a verbal component.[2]

History[]

The spell was attributed to Netherese arcanist Xanad in −704 DR and was originally called Xanad's stun.[1]
