Melisander's Harp (Priest Spell)

This spell creates the spectral, shadowy illusion floating in midair of a harp that plays by itself. The harp can appear anywhere the caster desires up to 10 feet per level distant. The caster has near total control over the initial position, movement, and playing of the harp. The powers of a harp cannot pass through magical barriers (such as a wall of farce), and a spellcaster cannot cause the harp to come into being beyond or to move through such a barrier.
If the caster is within 10 feet per level of the harp , she or he can move it up to 10 feet per round as willed. This movement does not require the caster's constant attention, and the caster may take other actions while the harp plays.
The tune or tunes that the harp plays are the ones the caster listed in mind during the spellcasting, and the harp plays them in order at normal tempo, repeating them from the beginning of the list when it complet es all tunes selected, until the spell's duration ends. The harp's playing can be turned on and off instantly and repeatedly by the silent will of the caster, and this does not affect spell duration. While the harp is playing, it has the following effects:
* All normal sound is hushed (but not negated) and available light, even magical light, dims.
* All creatures and objects with 60 feet of the harp are affected as if by a feather fall spell with no saving throws (rendering most missiles useless).
* All creatures of 4+4 HD or less within 40 feet must make a successful saving throw vs. spell or be affected as if by a sleep spell.
* All creatures with in 20 feet of the harp except the caster are slowed (no saving throw).
Melisander's harp is unaffected by dispel magic or silence spells, nor can it be damaged by physical or magical att acks. A limited wish or stronger spell is required to dispel it before it expires normally. This spell is the priest version of the Melisander's harp spell presented in Pages from the Mages. The spell is named for its creator, the elf mage and Harper hero known to Realmslore as the Last Lonely Harp ist . Finder learned it and teaches it to his bardic followers, as well as granting its use to his church.
The material components of the is spell are a silver harp string and at least three tears from an elf, a maiden who sings, a harpist (or other musician), or the caster. Tears from different individuals can be combined in the casting.
Notes: Granted by Finder Wyvernspur of the Forgotten Realms setting.
