Also known as Piper's Pipe, this spell brings into being an illusionary silver flute that floats and plays by itself. The flute appears anywhere the caster desires, up to 10 feet per level of the caster. The music from the flute can be heard up to 10 feet per level of the caster and turned on and off by the silent will of the caster. While the flute plays it has the following effects:
All sound in the spells area of effect is distorted (all actions involving speech suffer a +2 penalty to their initiative) and all available light is reduced to twilight.
All creatures within 90 feet that are hidden and/or using items or spells to hide or confuse their apparent location are clearly outlined by golden faerie fire. This effect can be lifted from any creature, as desired by the caster.
All creatures and objects within 70 feet are affected by a feather fall spell with no saving throw (rendering most missiles useless). The caster can control this effect, allowing some people to fall, while allowing others to be effected.
All creatures of 6 HD or less within 50 feet of the flute are affected by sleep (no save).
All creatures within 30 feet must make a saving throw vs. spell with a -4 penalty or be affected by hold monster.
All creatures within 10 feet of the flute are slowed (no save).
The flute is unaffected by dispel magic, magical silence, and all physical attacks. Only a wish or similar magic can destroy such a flute once it is in existence. The caster is unaffected by the flute's effects, unless he desires otherwise.
The material component of this spell is a tiny diamond flute worth no less than 5,000 gold pieces.
Notes: Known only to Jordon "Piper" Silverblade of the FORGOTTEN REALMS setting.
