Crwth of Yestin

Yestin's talisman is his crwth and bow, a form of welsh harp played either with a bow or by plucking the strings. It was inevitable that his treasured crwth would become his talisman. A gift from his mater, the crwth has been with him since before his Gauntlet and its music has been a constant companion.

Its attunements are as per the lyre and rowan wood. These are all Yestin currently knows of, but he is keen to find out whether the crwth contains more magical sympathies that are currently hidden from him. He may one day seek out a specialist in the field so he can further attune his talisman.

Attunements

• +3 create sounds
• +5 affect music
• +4 protection against malicious magic
• +1 Vim

ReVi 41 R: Touch, D: Conc, T: Room Pen +22, 1/day

When so instructed, the crwth plays a warding melody that fills the room and prevents creatures of the Infernal from entering. The effective level of the ward is 20, and it uses a Penetration of 22. Creatures within the room when the melody plays are not expelled from the room, but nor can they willingly leave.

The song is incidental to the effect, and Yestin is able to quiet the song by concentrating. This does not end the effect, and the music can be restarted again by concentrating. The crwth maintains concentration on the effect, and "sings the song" independently of any other music it produces.

(Base 20, –1 Conc, +2 Room; +5 item maintains concentration, +11 Penetration)
