Footfall is a cantrip that replicates the sound of footsteps, either retreating, approaching, moving in a circle and so on as the caster wishes. Listeners can distinctly perceive the footsteps, as the dweomer provides a convincing simulation.
| Range | 30 ft. |
| Duration | 1 round |
| Area of Effect | 30 ft. circle, up to 2 creatures |
| Casting Time | 2 action points |
| Saving Throw | negates |
| Level | cantrip |
The effect causes the nearest two listeners to make a saving throw against magic. Each of these two who fail are compelled to investigate the sound. Once a listener reaches the approximate location of the sound, it's truth is made evident and the cantrip's effect is broken.
