Alla Breve

Alla Breve is a twin flute made of an usual wood, likely sourced from an elemental plane, or deep in some secret Faerie grove. Its curious enchantment allows a bard to cast any of their spells through it, not just Sound spells. This not only allows a "struck dumb" bard to cast spells, but it also makes counterspells harder, as the counterspeller uses the worse of Thaumatology and Musical Composition. Finally, a spell cast with Alla Breve can be doubled--this uses double the energy, but allows some drastic changes on the battlefield.

== Notes ==
The Alla Breve is an attempt to make bards more competitive with wizards, letting them be more tactical with their twinned spells. This may help, and it can't be misused by other casters.
