When this spell is prepared, the caster makes some cry or yell or scream. When the spell is later cast (with but a small, soft utterance) the cry echoes forth, repeating for the entire duration, and cannot be ended sooner. The sound prepared must be some sort of loud yell, though the caster might mimic loud noises or specific voices, and the casting reproduces the same sound made when the spell was prepared. Typically, the spell is used to distract others, shouting cries or alarms or false warnings.
The spell is known to be found in Tasso's Arcanabula, and it originates from the Forgotten Realms
