Wizard Silencer

Description: Before the great dwarven tinker Wrench Blackboot went deaf, he was hailed for his study of sound and creation of devices to capture and imitate sounds. In his studies, he learned of how sound moves in waves. He was fascinated to learn that a sound could be cancelled by a wave form directly its opposite. Having no love for the arcane arts, he made a waveform canceller specifically to aim at spellcasters. The device resembles a handgun, but the barrel flares out to look like a horn instead of a tube. Operation: With a push of a button on the handle of the rifle (a DC 10 Use Technological Device check), the silencer records the sound of someone speaking and analyzes the waves. When that person speaks again, the user can pull the trigger and the silencer generates a wave that cancels out the speaker's words. The wielder can use a readied action to foil a spell with a verbal component in this way; doing so requires a ranged touch attack with the device. The silencer takes one round to cool down after firing. The recording device inside must be cleaned (requiring 5 rounds and a DC 15 Use Technological Device check) in order to target a different creature.
