Minimum Prep:	10

Performance Type:	Percussion, Sung
Description:	The Call of the Siren is an enchante that is true embodiment of the name it bears. Using it will create an enticing tapestry of sensations and sounds that lures creatures indigenous to the area to you, should any be present. Unfortunately, creatures summoned in such a manner will likely be hostile, and will need to be dealt with in some manner before you become the next item on their menu. The foolish use of this enchante has caused many an adventurer their life, so take heed where and when you decide to use it.
Example Messaging:	Intro: You center yourself, a soft hum resonating within your chest as the evenly metered rhythms of "Call of the Siren" take shape in your mind. Your humming seeps forth. Gentle crescendos spill forth every few measures, slow tidal swells that imperceptibly ease a sinuous melody into the audible range. Solo: Your humming seeps forth. Gentle crescendos spill forth every few measures, slow tidal swells that imperceptibly ease a sinuous melody into the audible range. - The stream of music blossoms into a diffuse cloud of sound, blanketing the room like a heavy mist. Your voice takes on a sweetness of tone, delicately floating over the fog. Refrain: Insistent tremors pulse along the tendrils of song. Suddenly the sound shudders as though falling away from itself, leaving an audible residue behind. Your voice carries on, every note suspended like a ringing bell. - Each successive iteration of your melody layers over the next, building an increasingly complex latticework of noise. Minor seconds collide as competing lines begin to blur any sense of tonality, the previous sweetness buried in a cloying collage. Verse: Your voice shines like a beacon amidst the fading static. Sonorous strands beckon and entice, laden with promise of comfort. Bridge: Lines of song gradually unravel from the tangled knot of sound, like the final strains of a many-voiced fugue. As each line drops away, the remaining harmonies become increasingly clear until at last only a single voice remains. Outro: As the final notes of your song arrive, a reluctant diminuendo gradually releases them from hearing. Long moments pass before you allow the last vestiges of sound to fade.

Notes

• Prevents players and creatures from retreating.
• Attempts to keep creatures from leaving the room. This aspect does not affect players.
• Played LOUD this affects all players and creatures in the room.
• Played QUIET this affects only those players and creatures engaged to you.
• Creature spawn is also affected by LOUD/QUIET setting. Certain legacy creatures may not be affected by this aspect due to mechanics issues.

• LOUD: Spawn rate is increased. This impacts other rooms in the hunting area in addition to your own. Creatures cannot be made to spawn where they otherwise do not. (I.e. no mini-invasions)

example additional spawn messaging: A shift in the breeze accompanies the arrival of a CREATURE.

• QUIET: Creatures are deterred from spawning or entering your room. More mana grants greater success, although there is always a chance for failure albeit very small at capped mana. This has no effect outside of your own room.

example spawn prevention messaging: A faint rustling grows louder, stops briefly, and then fades again.
