View Full Version : "Summoning" Instrument - creates objects when played in skilled hands

a matte black ebonwood cittern:

Some little black runes occasionally fade into existence on the surface of the black ebonwood cittern.
Painted a rather dull black, the countless layers of pigment nearly obscure the fact that the cittern has been finely crafted from quality ebonwood by a master hand. Rune-etched deathstones and other assorted black jewels stud the perimeter of the soundboard, while tiny sanguine runes have been etched in spirals along the neck. Tiny red-eyed skulls carved from obsidian dangle from the blunt pegbox.


When played it will create "some little black runes" which will float around the room and will move depending on the music that was playing when created. The more skilled you are with the instrument type the better the chance of creating them.

For example:

>play cittern fast
Without prelude, you begin a fast-paced tune on your cittern.
>
As you play your black ebonwood cittern, some little black runes suddenly flow out of the instrument, pulled into existence from the magic of your song.
>
You precisely pick out your fast-paced melody across the frets of your cittern, each note ringing true despite the speed of the song.
>
Like a whirlwind, the black runes spiral together quickly, forming a vortex for a moment.
>
With a small brow furrow of concentration, you increase the tempo further, your fingers fairly flying across the frets.
>
Flashing brilliantly, the black runes shoot up like flares and rain down rapidly.
>

And then when you look at a room...

You also see some little black runes.

It is more complicated than that. Non bards have a difficult time summoning the spectral objects. When they were released the EG before, they simply didn't work for non bards at all. I reported and bugged and posted on the boards but the owner didn't say anything or fix them. When I asked at the most recentEG the GM said a fix had just been done and for a little while they did work, but now I again have problems summoning them at all. Whether something changed, or they are broke again, I don't know.

And here I thought I was the only one that had trouble summoning the spectral objects. I have a master instrument and adept at playing it, and I probably summon the notes about 25-30% of the time.

I summon them every single time, the second verse into the playing, average or master quality. Granted, my bard is adept at all instruments, also. But xylophonia(zylophonia?) did state at EG'13 that anyone could do it and it depended on their skill. That's what I've been going on.

If there is an interest.. after this sale, I might sell a harp also...

a varnished grey faewood harp -

Some russet faewood leaves occasionally fade into existence on the surface of the grey faewood harp.
You see nothing unusual.

and, yes, it makes russet faewood leaves.. but it will depend on what this one goes for and what offers I get and such.. also, updated again

Are those summoning instruments persistent or limited in charges?

should be persistent, as it's a script

Good point. Lack of coffee hurts the ability to figure out the simple things.

It's easy for a bard but not for any other profession. In fact it took an entire year from EG 12 to EG 13 for the GM to fix it so it actually worked for non bards. I haven't lost any playing skill but just this past month the same issue I had after EG 12 is happening again. They just dont summon. I even had it running on a script loop for hours spamming play over and over and nothing. Xylophonia might have said one thing but that didnt make it true the first time. I'm not saying its not worth the price but rather trying to save you and your buyers problems down the road because the instruments don't work as well as the GM advertised. After EG 12 I even had two GMs assist and they looked at they code and said my character had more than enough skill to activate the summoning but for some reason in the code it wasn't working.

tldr I wish the GM coded these better.
