Primary Magic: Instrumental Sound Magic
Secondary Magic: N/A
Caster or Holder: Solidary ReQuip
Description: Instrumental Sound Magic is a form of Sound Magic where instruments are implemented instead. There are a variety of musical instruments used, ranging from small finger symbols, to something as big as a cello or a multi-necked guitar. Along with using various different instruments, the songs that are played as well determine what type of spell that is being put in play. Depending on the music that is played, and the instrument used, depends on the effect or spell that can be used. They could put the opponent to sleep, knock them away, blast their eardrums, show them an illusion, or temporarily control them, and some elemental bits as well.
Baird will use the ability to his best advantage. He considers himself a musical genius, so he tends to know the right song to play at the right moment. He will even use the spells out of battle as a form of entertainment for himself.

- Lineage:
- Volume IV: The Being
Warrior's Heart:
Description: Long ago there was an era of Kings and Warlords waging war against each other over kingdoms for many years. Warriors and sellswords were well paid and became idols. The way of the warrior was a common path youngsters attempted to walk, but in order to become a true warrior they had to travel through dangerous lands to find the Warrior Saint. An old entity that would look into a warrior's heart and deem it worthy of his blessing. It would grant the warrior more courage and willpower than the ordinary man in times of need. One day the Warrior Saint disappeared and the age of warriors was over. However, some believed that some heroes still possessed the Warrior Saint's blessing. They said that a true warrior worthy of the blessing is blessed by the Warrior Saint at birth.
Ability: These descendants are known for courage and fighting prowess, along with making them immune to any fear or discouragement. Any weapon they wield adds 25% more overall damage to simulate their prowess on top of the increase the weapon already gives.
Usage: Passive.
Unique Abilities:
~ (D) Air Instrument: Sometimes an instrument isn’t available at the time for one reason or another, so the mage must use air instruments that cost 1.5 MP of the original spell and is 70% of the original rank damage with 1 extra post of Duration and 3 extra posts for Cooldown for the spell used.
~ (D) Musical Charge: When the mage’s MP gets to 50 or below, they can play a small tune to give an extra 50 MP back.
~ (D) Amplified: When one needs a little extra boost in their spells, they can call upon an amplifier and the spells can be boosted to rank buff damage. (D= 50% buff, C=55%, B= 60% ect ect)
~ (C) Pitch Whistle: Once per post, the mage may emit a high pitched whistle that can harm the hearing of others with enhanced hearing, deafening them for three posts. The whistle can also call upon an animal to come and attack for him for 50% rank damage for 4 posts. Calling upon an animal cannot happen while the pitch is created to deafen an enemy, and vice versa.
~ (B) Orchestra: For a musician, one typically only has one set of hands. Orchestra gives the mage the ability to play up to four instruments at the same time without them even touching them, leaving the instruments playing themselves in thin air. It takes harder concentration to play all of them at once, so it uses 1.2 of the MP for the spells to be used. While the music is playing, the musician playing them has a 40% physical resistance as a shield is slightly formed with the instruments playing around them.

Duration: 3 posts
Cooldown: 4 posts

Active: When the bow is dragged over the strings to make a screeching sound, the violin will seem to clack a bit as things are shifting inside what is the body of the violin. This is the violin changing to that of the gun. Once it’s fully in place, the bow can be snapped on the persons side to let it flip in half, then attached to the top of the gun as a sight before they can fire off magical bullets that deal .25 rank damage each.

Passive: When beaten upon slowly three times, the soundwaves from the drum can cause anyone within 15 meters of them to be knocked back by a cold breeze by 5 meters each bang.
Active: When the drum is played more in a more roundabout rhythm, the two dragons on the head of the drum will come up from the picture and begin to float about the player before they go to quickly go after the opponent the drummer’s eyes are upon, or the area they’re in as long as it’s within 20 meters of them. The dragons then will twist around each other, seeming like they’re tangled together, before they open their maw and let a burst of ice shoot out at 25 meters per second to deal 1.3 rank damage.

To cast it, the mage must call out the name of the instrument and hold their hand out to be able to hold it as soon as it’s in their grasp.- Poseidon:
Passive: Without doing anything special to the lute, the backside of it is quite sturdy, sturdy enough to be used as a mace.

This deals rank melee damage plus .5 C+ rank spell damage as is.
Active: When the lute is played, water will start swarming around the player to be at their command. The water will whip around the user and go to attack enemies that the mage deems as such. The water will act like an extended giant hand that goes up to 80 meters. The water will go to smack whomever away about 7 meters, attempt to crush them, encase them in itself, or will make itself into sharp needles and rain down on those who are against the caster. The crushing, encasing, and needles all deal .8 rank damage per post, while the smacking is simply a knockback.

Duration: 5 posts
Cooldown: 7 posts
Description: Dreamweaver is a rather unique instrument that one wouldn’t think would have a dark side of it. It is a Koto with flower designs in gold over a red background on both ends of the instrument. The wood is magically enhanced to not allow it to break so easily. To cast it, the mage must call out the name of the instrument and hold their hand out to be able to hold it as soon as it’s in their grasp.- Dreamweaver:
Passive: Without playing Dreamweaver, the mage can use it as a shield to protect just themselves, or stick in front of someone else by turning the strings towards them and holding up the back end to block. The wood itself has a 180 HP for when it’s used as a shield.
Active: When a song is played on the instrument with the intent for the spell to be used, a fog will start to come from the strings, and slowly engulf up to 70 meters around them. The fog is completely harmless, but it is able to show one their darkest fears and nightmares and cause the enemy to either stop, or slow down by 50% if they’re the same rank or lower.

~ Can slow others down

These kagura suzu’s both have red handles with golden bells and each have two blood red colored ribbons, and three bright green ones that are all 2 meters in length. At the tip of the three-tiered belled instrument, would seem to be a dagger of sorts sticking out half a meter, almost like a topper on a cake. To cast it, the mage must call out the name of the instrument and hold their hand out to be able to hold it as soon as it’s in their grasp.- Holy Bells:
Passive: The dagger upon Holy Bells is typically used for close combat, dealing 0.75x rank melee damage at melee speed. The bells themselves are absolutely in no way meant to surprise the enemy, but they are pretty sounding when they’re shaken and cause an enemy to be deafened and slightly disoriented by 30% if they’re within a 20-meter range.
Active: When the ribbon on Holy Bells is literally snapped by the wielder lifting up the bells and snapping the ribbon down hard enough for the ribbon to make a snapping noise, then the ribbon will seem to slightly stiffen. While they seem like they didn’t change, the ribbon actually sharpened its edges and can be whipped around at enemies. As soon as the ribbon comes into contact with someone within 2 meters of the wielder, at up to 75 meters per second, they will cut them, dealing 0.6x rank damage. This lasts for two posts, with a three post cooldown.

Passive: When Doki Doki is drummed at a slow, steady pace (about 20 beats per minute), a shield will appear in a dome shape with 180 HP and goes out up to 80 meters from where it’s originally casted.
Active: When the drum is beat faster, to the point it seems like the pellets on the drum are ready to rip themselves off, they will actually do so while the top of Doki Doki is pointed in the direction that the wielder wishes to. The pellets will launch themselves off when the wielder says ‘Chi’, enlarging till they pop off the string and go in the direction that the drum is pointed in at up to 50 meters per seconds up to 60 meters away from the caster, dealing 0.5 rank damage each. The pellets can only be used for one post, with a four post cooldown.
Strengths:

Active: When strummed, Lullaby of the Wind can do some wind damage. When it’s strummed, the wind will collect right where the koma of the instrument is, and then let loose a burst of wind that deals B+ rank burst damage at 75 meters per seconds going out 60 meters from where it’s activated. The wind can also blow people back 15 meters who are out 55 meters from the wielder of the instrument. This lasts for one post, and has a five post cooldown.
