The Gnomish Harp of Gnomes is a powerful artifact.

Whomever wields it has the power to enrapture all creatures within a far range who can hear, or otherwise sense, its music. The victims of this charm do not know they are being charmed, even after the music stops; their actions seem to be of their own free will.

Additionally, anyone who wields it becomes consumed with its use and is, themselves, compelled to use it as often as possible. It's use also consumes stress, marking one stress for each minute one plays until the player fills their stress pool. Once that happens, the spell breaks, and they may stop playing until they regain stress.

This insidious cycle continues until it entirely consumes its operator.

After being discovered and ultimately removed from the College of Bards (where Ferdinand the Bard used it to take control of the college), it has been safely sealed within the Mage's Guild's "Hall of Artifacts" for further study.
