Sound Magic

It was a bright and sunny day as Adagio the bard set out on his journey with the Anarac. He had always been fascinated by the intelligent and hardworking creatures and was excited to be working alongside them on the road construction project.   As they began their work, the musician noticed that the Anarac were moving at a slower pace than usual. He decided to try out his newest spell and began playing a lively tune on his lute. Almost immediately, the anarac perked up and began working with renewed energy.   The days passed by quickly as the anarac worked tirelessly, driven by the rhythm of the Adagio's music. The projected month of work done in three days, much to the surprise of the crew.   As they celebrated their success, Adagio quipped, "I guess you could say I really hit the right notes with these guys!" The crew laughed and raised a toast to the power of sound magic.
  Sound magic allows the user to manipulate sound waves and use them for a variety of purposes. This can include creating sound waves for communication, amplifying sound, or even dampening sound. Sound magic can also be used to manipulate the frequency and pitch of sound, allowing the user to create harmonious melodies or discordant noise.
  Sound magic can be used to create a range of emotional responses in others, from soothing and calming to jarring and aggressive. It can also be used to communicate over long distances or to mask the user's presence. In some cases, sound magic can even be used as a weapon, by creating powerful sonic blasts or waves that can damage or knockback enemies.

Manifestation

There are many ways that Sound magic manifests in the world. Some examples follow:
 
  • Amplifying or muffling sound, allowing the user to make their voice louder or quieter as needed.
  • Creating melodies that can affect the behavior of those who hear them.
  • Using sound waves to detect objects or people that are hidden or out of sight.
  • Using sound waves to communicate over long distances or through solid objects.
  • High pitched sounds can be used to dissorient someone.
  • Loud enough sound waves can be very destructive.
  • The ability to create your own musical instruments.

Localization

Sound magic is most prevalent in biomes with high levels of noise or activity, such as bustling cities or areas with loud natural occurrences. Some examples below:
  Mountains: The echoes of sound off of cliffs and valleys could potentially enhance the power of sound magic.
Underwater: The unique properties of sound waves underwater could potentially enhance the power of sound magic.
Stormy areas: The intensity of thunder and other atmospheric noises could potentially amplify the power of sound magic.
Coastal regions: The sound of the ocean and seabirds, as well as the echoes created by cliffs and caves, make coastal regions conducive to sound magic.
Canyons: The echoes created by the steep walls of canyons can amplify sound, making them a good location for sound magic.
