Anstruth harp

An Anstruth harp was a masterwork magic harp and an Instrument of the Bards.

Description
Anstruth harps were superior in every way to ordinary harps. Like other Instruments of the Bards, they could only be used properly by bards, and could be dangerous if anyone else attempted to play or even carry them.

Powers
Bards wielding an Anstruth harp had their charming abilities greatly amplified by their magic.

Like all Instruments of the Bards, these harps had the capability of storing spells. A bard playing an Anstruth harp could invoke the spells Fly, Invisibility, Levitate, Protection from evil and good, Control weather, Cure wounds and Wall of thorns each once a day, until the instrument recharged its magic at the next dawn.

History
The first Anstruth harps were created by a legendary bard in the Moonshae Isles named Falataer. He used them to test and reward the students of the Anstruth level of his bardic college, which came to be regarded individually as a legendary bard college in its own right.

Over time, other bards have copied the original design, while retaining the original name in Falataer's honor.
