 '''Knocking''' is a cantrip that replicates the rhythmic tap of knuckles or an object against a wooden surface.  To the listener, the source is elusive, echoing diversely from no specific location.  Typically, the listener perceives it as real, prompting them to investigate or respond.

+__TOC__
-'''Knocking''' imitates the sound of a repetitive tap upon wood, as made by a humanoid knuckle or hollow piece of wood.  The sound may seem to come from anywhere — a door, from beneath the floor, even from the inside of a tree.  Normally, the cantrip's effect will be taken for what it seems, encouraging a creature within to "answer the door" or to try and identify where the sound is coming from.  Therefore, the cantrip serves as a distraction, gaining the listener's attention long enough to take a quick action or effect [[Initiative|initiative]].  When the knock is sounded, creatures "in the know" gain a +1 to their initiative.
+Thus the dweomer acts as a distraction.  Those who investigate and who fail a [[Saving Throws|saving throw vs. magic]] receive a -1 penalty against their [[Initiative|initiative]] if confronted while searching for the sound.  The perceived knocking might lead a listener to assume that someone important or urgent is at the door, compelling them to open it — unwittingly giving others a chance to enter.
-The spell may also succeed in getting a person within to unknowingly open a locked door, enabling an ambush.
+The cantrip could be used as a coded signal between allies or as a form of non-verbal communication, though the knocking's beat cannot be determined by the caster.  In a more lighthearted setting, a skilled user of the cantrip might incorporate it into a performance, or to defraud an individual by supposing the knocking is some form of communication from beyond the grave.
