You emit an ear-splitting yell that deafens and damages creatures in its path. Any creature within the area is stunned for 1 round and deafened for 4d6 rounds and takes 10d6 points of sonic damage. A successful save halves the damage and the deafness duration and negates the stunning. Any exposed brittle or crystalline object or crystalline creature takes 1d6 points of sonic damage per caster level (maximum 20d6). An affected creature is allowed a Fortitude save to reduce the damage by half, and a creature holding fragile objects can negate damage to them with a successful Reflex save.
A greater shout spell cannot penetrate a silence spell.
Arcane Focus: A small metal or ivory horn.
