King of All Songs (Evocation)

King of All Songs is an Evocation of Shoruko the Song-Staff, currently in possession of Runn Iunryng.

King of All Songs
The Song-Staff is as much a musical instrument as it is the symbol of office of the old Baloo Kings. This Evocation grants (Essence) bonus non-charm dice whenever Shoruko is used as part of an action to make music. This includes attempts to inspire, intimidate or inlfuence others and even esoteric means through which the music could be made into an attack. The only limitation is that making the music must be a rolled action in itself (as opposed to a simple stunt) and thus might necessitate a flurry.

In addition, whenever visibly holding or using the Song-Staff, monkeys, apes and other simian creatures are considered to have the Minor Principle "respecting the Baloo Daimyo's authority". At the Story Teller's discretion, spirits sufficiently close to the themes of monkeys, songs, or Baloo might be subjected to the effect.

This Evocation is learned for free by the recognized Daimyo of House Baloo, and can't be learned by any other user.
