Level: 3
Range: Touch
Components: V,S
Casting Time: 1 round
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: None
Area of Effect: One instrument

By means of
this spell, the M-U causes any
one musical instrument, which must be
non-magical in nature, and whole and
unbroken, to play by itself.

The instrument
need not be one the spellcaster
knows how to play; he or she merely
hums or whistles a short tune (i.e. one
complete in 9 segments or less) after the
initial casting, while touching the
instrument. When the instrument is
released, it glows with a faint, amber
faerie fire- like radiance, levitates in the
position in which it was released, not
moving about but not falling to the
ground, and plays the tune, parts of the
instrument (e.g. strings) moving as if it
were actually being played by an invisible
being. When touched, the instrument
instantly stops playing and falls to
the ground, its radiance winking out.
This spell was devised as a court entertainment
by Vangerdahast, Royal Magician
of Suzail.

No known way has yet been devised
to trigger it with other spells or barriers,
to serve as a warning. Various magical
means used to cause temporary
silence mute the music normally without
stopping the playing of an enspelled
instrument.
