The horn appears to be a normal musical instrument, perhaps a bugle or warning horn of some sort. If it is sounded without first speaking the proper rune, or 10% of the time in any event, the following will result:
Outside:
A rain of fist-sized rocks will strike the individual sounding the horn, from 2-12 in number, each causing 1-6 hit points of damage.
Indoors:
The ceiling overhead will collapse when the device is blown, so the character will take from 3-36 hit points of damage.
Underground:
The area immediately above the character sounding the horn will fall upon him or her. The damage is 5-20 hit points base, multiplied by 1 factor for each 10-ft of height from which the material above drops (i.e., twice damage if a 20-ft ceiling, three times damage if a 30-ft ceiling, etc.).
Proper use of a horn of collapsing enables the character to sound it while it is pointed at the roof overhead from 30-ft to 60-ft beyond the user. The effect is to collapse a section of roof up to 20-ft wide and 20-ft long (10-ft radius from the central aiming point) which inflicts damage as noted above if indoors or underground only.
