A Sonicball spell is a blast that creates almost no pressure. Every creature and unattended object (as appropriate) in the area suffers sonic damage.

You point your finger and determine the range (distance and height) at which the Sonicball is to burst. A glowing, pea-sized bead streaks from the pointing digit and, unless it impacts upon a material body or solid barrier prior to attaining the prescribed range, blossoms into a cacophonous burst of sound at that point (an early impact results in an early detonation). If the damage caused to an interposing barrier shatters or breaks through it, the Sonicball may continue beyond the barrier if the area permits; otherwise it stops at the barrier just as any other spell effect does.

If you attempt to send the bead through a narrow passage, such as through an arrow slit, you must "hit" the opening with a ranged touch attack, or else the bead strikes the barrier and detonates prematurely.

Material Component: A disc of thin leather.
