Ancient Manipulator ( Lyre )

All performances with this instrument (mundane or magical) include the effects of Major Image or Enthrall, sustained for the duration of the performance without additional concentration, and ending with the performance.

The save DC for all spell effects generated by this item is the normal spell save DC of the user.

Performing during combat uses the player's action, and requires concentration. Taking any bonus actions, or reactions, that would necessarily require the Bard to stop performing ends the performance. This item has 15 charges, that reset at dawn. The amount of charges used for each ability is based off of the level of the spell mentioned in the ability.

The Bard may apply one of the following special abilities to their performance:

Persuasive Performance:

3 times per long rest, add Bardic die to one Charisma (Persuasion or Deception) against any audience members; the persuasion or deception must be reasonably clearly suggested through the lyrics of the performance (ie, any reasonable listener would understand what the song was suggesting), and the performance must be for at least 1 minute. Each audience can only be affected once per day.

Spellbinding Performance:

Once per day, you can perform a Spellbinding Performance; choose one of:

• Charm Monster* (4): For each minute of the performance an additional creature can be charmed, the 1h duration begins from when the performance ends. Only creatures that can hear and understand the performance can be targeted. (ie, if this is applied for 5 minutes of performance, 5 creatures can be affected by Charm Monster). Up to a limit of 11 creatures. Each additional creature you charm requires another charge to be used.
• Mass suggestion* (6): The spell initially takes effect after 1 minute of performance. After 5 minutes, any target that succeeded their first save must make a second save. After 10 minutes, a third save must be made. The same suggestion is in effect for the entire performance.

Memorable Performance :

Once per day. At least 1 minute performance, applies Modify Memory* (5) to 1 listener. The performance must describe the memory changes being made, which may extend up to 10 minutes.

Ballad of Legends:

Once per day, 10 minute performance. Channel Legend Lore (5) into a ballad that reveals the lore provided by the spell. The ballad must be performed for a live audience of at least 4 humanoids.

Calming Chords:

Whilst the Bard performs, and for 1 minute after the performance, listeners are affected by Calm Emotions* (2).

Irresistible Rhythm:

Whilst the Bard performs, one creature than can hear the performance is affected by Otto's Irresistible Dance* (6). The effect ends as soon as the performance ends.
