This magical horn appears as a normal trumpet, but it will reveal a dwemer if a detection for magic is cast upon it.
It can be sounded as a normal horn, but if the correct word is spoken and the instrument then winded in the proper manner, it has the following effects:
1.
A cone of sound, 12" long and 3" wide at the base, issues forth from the horn and all within it must save versus magic. Those saving are stunned for 1 round and deafened for 2. Those failing the saving throw sustain 1-10 hit points of damage, are stunned for 2 rounds and deafened for 4.
2.
A wave of ultrasonic sound issues from the horn at the same time, a 1-ft wide, 10" long pulse, which causes a weakening of such materials as metal, stone, and wood, the weakening equal in effect to 3 times the damage caused by a hit from a missile hurled by a large catapult, i.e. 18 structural points, or sufficient to smash a drawbridge or flatten a normal cottage.
If a horn of blasting is winded magically more than once per day there is a 10% cumulative chance that it will explode itself and inflict 5-50 hit points of damage upon the person sounding it.
There are no charges upon a horn, but the device is subject to stresses as noted above, and each time it is used to magical effect there is a 2% cumulative chance of the instrument shivering itself. In the latter case, no damage is inflicted on the character blowing it.
