Lute of Xekkord

This is a magical instrument carved of wood from the Tree of Sorrows and re-inforced with mithral.This rare instrument is usually crafted by the Yuguloths for their own purposes. The instrument has the ability to morph (free action) to any type of instrument known to the wielder, and can also morph to one weapon type that is familiar to the wielder. (The weapon is +3 attack bonus and makes a humming noise when wielded.)

When a chord is struck, the item evokes one of the following abilities:A - Ghost Sound 3/dayB - Light 3/dayC - Sculpt Sound 1/dayD - Dancing Lights 3/dayE - Silence 2/dayF - Flare 3/dayG - Dimension Door 4/day (up to 200')Also, the wielder gets the benefit of +4 to Perform skill.
