Transforming Tune

This powerful spell can be cast on a musical instrument (or, touching a being's throat, on the voice of any being having vocal cords), to be released later by singing or playing. The releaser of the spell can choose its targets and effects, employing only one effect per round, but as many effects as desired until the spell expires (the duration is determined by the caster's level).

The effects and targets are selected by the will of the releaser. If a releaser doesn't know what effects are possible, the spell unleashes the effect closest to his desires of the moment-or, if the releaser maintains an open, neutral mind, a random effect will occur (random targets or target areas can also be “selected" in this way).

All saving throws against a transforming tune are vs. spell, but with a -3 penalty. The maximum area any tune can affect is a sphere 60 feet across, whose center can't be more than 30 yards away from the source of the tune. This sphere is the “area" referred to below, although the releaser can choose to make it smaller (to exclude certain beings or objects). The area need not rest on the ground-if a midair location is chosen, the sphere remains stationary. Otherwise, the releaser can to leave the area stationary, or move it at up to ten feet per round; it won't move out of range of the tune source, but only moves in accordance with tune source's movements if the releaser wills it to. Its effects are otherwise as described on the table of transforming tune effects.
