Lute of Playing

If the proper chords are struck, a single use of this lute negates any attacks made against all inanimate construction (walls, roof, floor, and so on) within 300 feet. This includes the effects of a horn of blasting, a disintegrate spell, or an attack from a ram or similar siege weapon. The lute can be used in this way once per day, with the protection lasting for 30 minutes.
The lute is also useful with respect to building. Once a week its strings can be strummed so as to produce chords that magically construct buildings, mines, tunnels, ditches, or whatever. The effect produced in but 30 minutes of playing is equal to the work of 100 humans laboring for three days. Each hour after the first, a character playing the lute must make a DC 18 Perform (string instruments) check. If it fails, she must stop and cannot play the lute again for this purpose until a week has passed.
