==Game Description==
#REDIRECT [[Thespia]]
''Music itself has long been popular among mortals, and since the [[Second Age|Awakening]], has taken on a new importance. The very ethereal tides of [[Magick]] released at that time seem to respond to certain vibrations, such as that of sound. By playing [[instruments]] and matching the sounds made with ones voice, the ripples of magick can be redirected to cause many different effects, from travel to healing, from giving strength to calming the angry. Music indeed can soothe the savage beast, but music now may also slay it.''

these songs before they can be lost.
Once the songs have been captured, the Bard can instantly bind them to another target by using any
Voice attack against that target.

''Requires: playing a harp''
The Cruel Lament is a very powerful song. Once your voice is resonating with the power of any of the
three primordial notes, you are able to sing the song of the Cruel Lament at your current target.
This will have two effects: the target's resonance with the -other- two notes will be increased at a
halved rate, and the target will become much more suspectible to Voice damage. The Shaite and Rubait
power words will inflict more damage, based on how many afflictions from the Nuarinyu, Innyo, and
Kiyan power words the target is suffering with.
 
The duration of this effect depends on how well the target is resonating with the chosen primordial
note.
