 '''Spell noise''' is the [[noise]] generated when casting spells.
 ==How noise is determined==
-There is a casting noise which is the spell level with factor applied (rounded up). The factor is 1 for conjuration spells, 1/2 for poison and air spells and 3/4 for the others.
+There is a casting noise that will be made at the caster's position.
-A modifier (noise_mod) can be set in spl-data.h to change this base casting noise. It is added to the spell level before applying the school-dependant factor. The noise will be made at the caster's position.
+A second source of noise is the spell itself. The noise will be made at the target's position. Some spells don't make any noise at all, like [[Bolt of Draining]], and they end up with a noise of 0. For bolt spells, the noise is made at each square where it hits a monster, and the last square the spell reached even if it doesn't hit anything.
