A Cracked FluteFront

crude, magical

A long, thick flute carved of redwood, with a thin but visible crack along the underside. It easily catches the wind and makes a piping sound.

Anyone who plays a few notes on the flute can tell there's some magic here.

When you spend a few days practicing, playing the flute where the wind can hear you, roll

+CHA: on a 10+, mark 1 circle; on a 7-9, mark 1 circle, but you summon an irate zephyr spirit;

on a 6-, you make no progress but do manage to summon an irate zephyr.

3

When you mark all three circles, you unlock the mysteries of the flute.

Dancing Wind SpiritReverse

When you play a tune to make the wind itself dance, the andalau (zephyr spirit) tied to the flute manifests. Treat it as a follower; it holds 1 Loyalty to start. When you dismiss the spirit while it holds no Loyalty, the flute splits and falls apart; the andalau is set free.
