Your yell takes on a shrill, high-pitched quality as your magic amplifies it into a scream, deafening those around you and shattering glass.

All creatures within the area of a shriek that can hear it are immediately knocked prone and must make a Fortitude saving throw.

A creature that fails the save against the shriek is deafened for 1d4 rounds. Creatures that succeed the saving throw are stunned for 1 round instead of being deafened.

A shriek deals 1d4 points of sonic damage to all crystalline objects and creatures within its area per caster level (to a maximum of 5d4 points of damage), a successful saving throw reduces the damage by half.

The shriek spell cannot penetrate the spell silence.
