Dispel Magic Bark
Each bark produces an innate pulse experienced as Dispel Magic passing over those nearby.
Introduction
Two enormous war hounds are chained to opposite sides of the route into the Prismatic Retort. Their drool glows bioluminescently, solid golden plates cover their eyes and every bark sends an innate Dispel Magic pulse over those entering. Wicander recognises them as similar in kind to Sir Filoneus’s war dogs, although the Retort hounds are far larger.
Appearance
Massive chained hounds with glowing saliva and solid golden plates fixed over their eyes.
Behaviour
The hounds bark and snarl at entrants while projecting a non-damaging magical pulse that dispels magic.
Habitat & Ecology
Chained within the guarded approach to the Prismatic Retort beneath Villa Aurora.
Origin
Unknown. They are similar in kind to Sir Filoneus’s war dogs but are much larger and magically specialised.
