Origin: Crafted by the master instrument maker of the Silver Ring Circus, this lute was strung with threads of moonlight and polished with phoenix ash. It hums with anticipation when held by a true performer.

✨ Magical Properties

• 🎶 Performance Echo: When you play this lute during a Bardic Inspiration or spellcasting performance, your voice carries with supernatural clarity. Allies within 60 feet gain +2 to saving throws against being deafened, silenced, or frightened until the start of your next turn.

• 🎭 Spotlight Illusion (3/day) As a bonus action, you can trigger a minor illusion effect centered on yourself: glowing spotlight, swirling feathers, or a phantom ribbon trail. This lasts for 1 minute or until dismissed. While active, you gain advantage on Performance checks and can cast Minor Illusion without verbal components.

• 🪶 Aerial Harmony While airborne (jumping, falling, wall-running, or trapezing), you may cast one Bard spell with a casting time of 1 action as a bonus action instead, once per long rest. The spell must include a verbal component and be part of a performance.

• 🎼 Signature Song Slot You may bind one custom Bardic Spell Song (e.g., Selene, Selene or Crimson Spiral) to the lute. When played, the spell gains +1 to its DC and creates a visual flourish (e.g., spectral dancers, owl wings, or glowing lyrics).

• The lute’s body is carved from cherrywood and inlaid with silver rings along the neck.

• Its strings shimmer faintly, changing hue with the song's mood.

• When attuned, the lute softly hums the chorus of Selene, Selene when idle.
