Description and use¶
Wondrous Item, Common While you are playing this musical instrument, you can take a Magic action to create harmless, illusory visual effects within a 5-foot Emanation originating from the instrument.
If you are a Bard, the size of the Emanation increases to 15 feet.
Sample visual effects include luminous musical notes, a spectral dancer, butterflies, and gently falling snow.
The magical effects have neither substance nor sound, and they are obviously illusory.
The effects end when you stop playing.
