Augment Artistry - Elf

This spell combines magic with the act of creation to enhance the artistry of any work created by the recipient of this spell. For every three levels of experience of the priest (round up), the recipient of this spell receives a +1 bonus to his or her next nonweapon proficiency check against an ability requiring artistic ability. This bonus cannot exceed +3. While the effects of this spell last only until the next such nonweapon proficiency check, the results of the augmented artistry are permanent.

In addition to the nonweapon proficiency artistic ability, this spell can augment a proficiency check for dancing, gem cutting, singing, or any other skill that is traditionally considered an artistic endeavor. This spell doesn't affect traditional crafts where functionality is emphasized over artistry, including proficiencies such as armorer, blacksmithing, leatherworking. seamstress/tailor, weaving, or weaponsmithing, unless the proficiency check is specifically for the esthetic appeal of the finished item. In all cases, the applicability of this enchantment to a particular endeavor is adjudicated by the DM.

The material components are the priest's holy symbol and a scroll bearing a piece of epic poetry (not necessarily the original work).

Notes: Granted by the elven god Corellon Larethian.
