-Produces a long-lasting croaking sound, producing either singular croaks in succession or a collection of at least a dozen frogs. The full effect will endure for 10 seconds.  This will be followed by random effects of 5-8 croaks over the following 12 seconds, then silence.  The sound can be heard up to 120 ft. away.  A single frog might be mistaken for a [[Frog (giant)|giant frog]], if the listener fails an [[Ability Checks|intelligence check]].
+The sound carries up to 120 feet, and may lead an unwitting observer to mistake a lone frog for a giant frog upon failing an [[Ability Checks|intelligence check]].  The effect may be cast during the daytime, but its artificial nature would be instantly apparent as all in a medieval setting would know that frogs croak only at night.
-If heard by creatures with an [[Intelligence (ability stat)|intelligence]] between 5 and 14, the response will be to cease what they are doing and listen.  If an attack is made within one round of the cantrip's [[Spellcasting|discharge]], then the chance of [[Surprise (combat)|surprising]] ordinary listeners increases — from a usual 2 in 6 chance to 3 in 6.  Characters and creatures who are normally ''only surprised on a 1'' in 6 or less, such as [[Ranger (class)|rangers]] or [[Lion|lions]], will not be distracted by this deception.

-The cantrip also has the power to force a frog or frog-like creature to croak against its will.  This will spoil its attack for 1 [[Combat Round|round]] if a [[Saving Throws|saving throw]] is failed.

		+	Produces an extended croaking sound, similar to at least a dozen frogs. The disturbance will rise for 10 seconds, then fall off to silence at the end of the one round duration. This sound can be heard up to 60 ft. away. Take note that this use of the cantrip cannot performed in full daylight (but is effective at dusk, nighttime and dawn).

		+	Creatures of low to high intelligence, hearing the sound, will cease what they are doing—and have their chance of being surprised increased by 1 chance in 6.

		+	The cantrip will also force a frog (or frog-like creature) to croak against it’s will, spoiling its attack for one round if it fails its saving throw.
