Aura moderate evocation; CL 8th
Slot none; Price 32,000 gp; Weight 5 lbs.

This staff is made from high-quality wood and festooned with brass rods and keys, looking almost like an instrument. The staff allows use of the following spells:

• Ghost sound (1 charge)
• Piercing shriek (1 charge)
• Sculpt sound (2 charges)
• Wall of sound (2 charges)

In addition, as a swift action, the wielder of the musical staff can cause it to transform into a string or wind instrument. Any Perform skill checks made with the musical staff gain a +5 competence bonus. The staff can still be used to cast spells while it is an instrument, and it can revert back to a staff as a free action.

Craft Staff, ghost sound, piercing shriek, sculpt sound, wall of sound; Cost 16,000 gp.
