| 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. | |
| Effect: | Unknown | |
| 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. | |

So -- Loud = more critters, quiet = keep the critters you have, and ward the rest away. It will try to keep critters from wandering in after they have already generated, but due to mechanics issues with legacy critters, this does not work on all types of critters (currently). It will try to prevent any affected critters and players from retreating, and it will also attempt to keep critters in the room for a short time.
Due to the unique nature of the system hooks added to support these functions, I'll be monitoring the potency of these effects for balance and abuse.
And, just to head some questions off at the pass -- This enchante will only allow you to enhance spawn where critters already spawn. No wandering invasions (alas). If you want to do that, you'll have to apply to become a GM.

While I of course support a certain amount of PAFO, I'll come out and say that there are no buffs, debuffs or other combat modifiers applied to this enchante, unless you count the inability to escape!
