[Rq-rules] Re: music as a focus

[Clive Wickens]

Tigger,

You could also have music used as adjuncts for summoning spells, both for otherworldy creatures and for 'calling' earthly creatures. Etruscan shepherds were supposed to use pipes and flutes to magically call sheep and cattle to the byre etc and noblemen to call Hawks and hunting animals. probably all due to conditioned training in real life of course, but it's a nice idea for a magic effect as well. Stories and legends are on course stuffed replete with chanting and music at ceremonies to summon demons, elementals etc etc.

Ta,

Clive
