 [[Musician]]s start each game with a magic harp among their magical instruments. Their quest artifact, The [[Harp of Harmony]], is a lawful artifact magic harp that grants [[drain resistance]], [[warning]], and [[stealth]] while carried, and can be applied or [[invoked]] for taming. When applied or invoked, the Harp will speak a random rumor based on its beatitude: true if blessed, false if cursed, and either if uncursed.
