Rattle is a cantrip that conjures a sequence of sharp knocking sounds, mirroring the irregular strikes and shakes of items, reminiscent of a chain unwinding or dice rattling in a cup. Frequently associated with the description of animated skeletons' bones as "rattling," this distinct sound often comes to mind when experiencing the dweomer's effects.

On account of the last, the cantrip causes a shiver of fear to take hold of one recipient, who will be the only one to hear the produced sound. The effect is so powerful that, unless a saving throw is made, the individual will be put off kilter, lowering their armour class by 4 points. This effect lasts for one full round of combat. Creatures that have an intelligence less than 5 aren't affected by the cantrip.
The cantrip can also be used to permanently cause the wheel of a cart or wagon to rattle as the vehicle moves along. This has a 2 in 3 chance of causing the wagon's drive to stop and investigate, creating an opportunity for ambush. The rattling sound can be cured with 8 ounces of lubricant.
