Songs of the Old World

Long before man covered the world in steel and smog, magic was more powerful and accepted as a fact of life.

Magicians and magical creatures living in modern times have only limited access to the primordial energies that were once common and they have to struggle much more to master their abilities.

Those looking for a quicker route to power often seek out certain works of art created during the old days. These can be anything from paintings to songs. Once something with supernatural abilities gains exposure to these works they receive a rush of ancestral memories with new insight to their power.

Once such song was by Florence the Bard who is said to have thought with the Wisdom of Owls and sang with the Voice of Dragons.

The ultimate form of this sound is recorded on a piece of magically cut crystal. Listening to the vibrations from this crystal can have such an incredible effect that listeners can awaken whole new abilities. Some of these are ancient and long forgotten so the results can be unpredictable.
