-The sound has the potential to be a distraction for those who hear it, as the resonance is both piercing and grating.  It will be assumed that something has moved nearby, without the sound of a footfall or breathing.  Therefore, probably a threat, sneaking up on the listener.  The practical result will be a -2 to the listener's [[Initiative|initiative]], if a [[Saving Throws|saving throw]] isn't made.
+== Alteration to Wood ==
-The cantrip can also be used to '''permanently''' affect a hinge or a joint, such as that of a door, so that it will creak every time the joint moves.  This creak can be cured with 8 ounces of lubricant.
+One such alteration may be made per [[Experience Level|level]] of the caster.  When that limit is reached, each new invocation of the cantrip removes the earliest former alteration.

-'''Creak''' produces a harsh scraping sound of metal upon metal, or wood upon wood.  The sound resembles a door opening on rusty hinges, a hanging sign squeaking as it moves in the wind or wooden slats giving way as there is a gentle shift of weight.
+'''Creak''' is a cantrip that causes a creaking noise like the harsh scrape of metal meeting metal or wood against wood. It echoes the familiar sounds of a rusty door opening, a sign swaying and squeaking in the breeze, or wooden slats yielding to a subtle change in weight.
