There are 7 magical instruments.

Each and every instrument looks exactly alike due to powerful dweomers placed upon them.

Class: Each can be fully utilized only by a bard, particularly a bard of at least as high a college
        as the instrument is named for, i.e. Fochlucan, Mac-Fuirmidh, Doss, etc.
        Bards of lower status, as well as other characters able to play such an instrument,
        will be able to use the device with only limited results.
        <Note: Order is the "order of the college ie. 1-7", Level is the minimum level to be able to enter that college, and hence, fully play the associated instrument.>

10-80 Minutes: Any character able to play one of these instruments can sing so as to do one of the following for as many turns as the order of the college,
        i.e. 1-7, a magnus alumni for 8 turns with any of the 7, once each per day:

            1. put up a 10’ radius protection from evil;
            2. become invisible
                (although the strumming <&> singing can still be heard distantly, the exact location is impossible to discover unless detection of invisibility is possible);
            3. levitate; and
            4. fly.

        Each ability of the instrument takes 5 segments to activate, and-not less than 1 full round to complete.

Charm: If the bard‘s charming ability exceeds 100% with instrument bonus, the creature saving against the magic does so at -1 for every 5% above 100%,
3% or 4% being rounded to the next 5%, i.e. 3% = 5%, 8% = 10%, 13% = 15%, etc.
 

OA: These instruments are not found in Oriental lands. Reroll the result.

Fochlucan Bandore:
If this small, 3-stringed instrument is played by a 1st level bard (probationer) or a non-bard,
it has a 50% chance per round of playing to cast a faerie fire spell,
    but there is a 10% chance that the musician will be limned by the glow, if the spell is so cast, rather than the desired target.

A bard of Fochlucan or higher college
casts the faerie fire spell at base 50% per level of bard experience above 1st,
reducing the reverse effect by 1% per level above 1st.
Furthermore, the bandore also has the following song properties when properly played:

    1. add 10% to the bard’s charm percentage;
    2. cast an entangle spell once per day;
    3. cast a shillelagh spell once per day; and
    4. enable the bard to speak with animals once per day.

If a 1st level bard attempts these powers, there is a 30% chance that they will work,
but a 70% chance that the player will take 2-8 hit points of damage.
