Wondrous Item, legendary (requires attunement by a bard of extraordinary potential.)

An elegant lyre of simple oak, adorned with black and silver imagery of elves playing in moonlit meadows. It's fine silver strings glitter pure white, even in the dark of night. The Bard's Whisper has been handed down through generations of elven bards. Said to contain the last whispered songs of each of it's wielders, Whisper has slept peacefully for decades without a bard skilled enough to truly awaken it's beautiful spirit.  

A creature that attempts to play the instrument without being attuned to it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or take 2d4 psychic damage.

You can use an action to play the instrument and cast one of its spells. Once the instrument has been used to cast a spell, it can't be used to cast that spell again until the next dawn. The spells use your spellcasting ability and spell save DC.

Dormant. While The Bard's Whisper is attuned it can be used as a Bard's spell focus, a musical instrument and to cast the spells Faerie Fire and Protection from Evil and Good once per a Long Rest without needing Concentration or material components. 

Additionally you gain Advantage on any performance check or test while attuned. 

Awakened. When The Bard's Whisper reaches an awakened state, you gain the following benefits:

  • You additionally can cast the spells Hold Person, Wall of Fire and Shatter once per Long Rest without requiring material components.
  • You can play the instrument while casting a spell that causes any of its targets to be charmed on a failed saving throw, thereby imposing disadvantage on the save. This effect applies only if the spell has a somatic or a material component.

Exalted. When The Bard's Whisper reaches an exalted state, you gain the following benefits:

  • You can cast the spells Dream, Control Weather and Hold Monster once per Long Rest without needing material components, as your music compels even monsters to stop and listen. Your songs are inescapable and even compel the weather to reflect your songs.
  • As an action, you let the spirits within the instrument assist you with a grand performance. You gain a +10 to all performance checks, advantage on all Charisma rolls and are under the effects of the Holy Aura spell. This lasts for 1 Minute, still requiring Concentration on the Holy Aura spell as per normal. Then this feature can't be used again until after 1d4 days have passed. 

Notes: Advantage: Performance, bard of extraordinary potential.
