The Egg Lute

EGG LUTE
Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement by a bard)

An Egg Lute is not a singular magic item, but each one is nevertheless entirely unique. Each instrument is the product of months of intensive labour, a perfect marriage of the crafter's tools and their soul, and as such each is as individual and peculiar as the artist themselves. The product of a dozen magical materials and reagents, the only consistent design element is the body of the lute, made from the shell of a dragon's egg, from which the instrument takes its name.

This magical musical instrument grants the bearer a +1 bonus to their spell attacks and spell save DC when using it as their magical focus, a +2 bonus to performance checks when using it to play music, and a +2 bonus to healing when using the Song of Rest feature.

Superior Inspiration. When a creature benefits from the effects of Bardic Inspiration from a bard playing the Egg Lute, they may reroll results of a 1 or a 2 on the Bardic Inspiration die.

Enhanced Spellcasting. A bard attuned to the Egg Lute may cast the following spells without expending a spell slot or any material components:

At will: animal friendship, thaumaturgy

1/day: calm emotions, enhance ability, enthrall

1/new moon: legend lore

'''Fateful Chord. '''There comes a time in every hero's journey when they must contend with the impossible. In that moment, they may call upon the locus of fate stored within this portentous instrument. As an action, the bearer of the Egg Lute may play a fateful chord, unleashing its hidden potential to replicate the effects of a wish spell. However, doing so destroys the lute beyond repair: the strings snap, the neck splinters and the body cracks, rendering it useless. Furthermore, the bard that undertakes such an act can never again own an Egg Lute, nor can they repair this one or make a new one. To attempt to do so results in tragedy.
