Drums of Courage

Magic item, Miscellaneous magic item

Drums whose beat reproduces the Song of Courage spell of Low Magic.

From the book

Three times a day these drums grant Song of Courage, the 3rd level Low Magic spell that makes allies within 100 ft. immune to ordinary fear or breaks the hold of magical fear.

As a greater magic item its magic is permanent and renews itself each day. Making one calls for the materials of a minor magic item and two months plus two weeks for each level of the spell it holds, with a 99% chance of success; one offered for sale usually costs at least twice its materials plus 2,000 G.P. per week of enchanting. It counts toward the seven magic items a person may carry or wear at once; go past seven and none of them works.
