Your Voice and Mine

This effect is restricted such that only Yestin is able to trigger it.

This effect allows the crwth to join its voice with Yestin's. The crwth sings in harmony with Yestin, as Yestin himself plays and sings. The effect is designed to produce intelligible words. These usually follow Yestin's own words but on some occasions, and for reasons Yestin does not know, the crwth changes words and tone and emphasis. These changes are always in keeping with the song, and serve to enhance the performance rather than detract from it.

The best explanation Yestin has heard for this phenomenon is that perhaps a Twilight experience also affected the crwth. Any magus able to explain why the crwth sings so independently would have Yestin's thanks, and may perhaps gain a deeper insight into the nature of enchanted devices.

Adelbert the Tyrolean, a Bonisagus of some standing at Yestin's covenant, suggested that a supernatural agent may have been present in Yestin's laboratory when the effect was instilled, and that perhaps this caused the Warped effect. Yestin is unsure how much the Tyrolean suspects about Taliesin, but is disinclined to have others disturb his laboratory in search of evidence of faerie involvement.
