A magic flute is a magical tonal instrument, and can be used to play the passtune. Improvising with a charged magic flute will put nearby monsters (including pets) to sleep unless they resist (see below). It also exercises dexterity, and consumes a charge.
An uncharged magic flute behaves as a wooden flute.
Detailed effect
Sleep resistance prevents this attack from succeeding. Monsters may also prevent the attack using their innate magic resistance.
Monsters are affected for 1d10 + 10 turns, in a radius of 
squares.
Radius at various levels is:
| Level | Radius |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2 |
| 5 | 5 |
| 14 | 8 |
| 30 | 12 |
Charging
A magic flute may be charged any number of times. Uncursed charging adds 1d4 charges to a magic flute. Blessed charging adds 2d4 charges. In either case, there is a maximum of 20 charges.

With this thou canst do mighty deeds
And change men's passions for thy needs:
A man's despair with joy allay,
Turn bachelors old to lovers gay.
