A sound weaver is a mage who can create any sound and make it appear real to those who perceive it. Anything reasonable, from a snake hiss to a marching of soldiers, to a doctored speech from a noble, can be created with this spell. Intelligible speech can be made with this spell, but it cannot be interactive. The idea is that if a target believes a False Sound, they will be at a disadvantage to notice other things, taking a penalty to subsequent Perception checks. "Huh? What was that noise? Better go check it out."
