+Musical songs can have powerful effects for those who have the ability to
+play instruments, chiefly *****c_bard.txt*0[Bards].
+
+In order to continue playing a song, mana is consumed each turn, until
+either the 'Stop Singing' song is sung, or the player's mana runs out.
+
+Each song, as well as having a school level like any other magic spell, also
+has a roman numeral following its name. The higher this number, the greater the
+craftmanship of the instrument required to play it.
+
+Each musical instrument has a value assigned to it as well, between 1 and 4. The
+higher the number, the better the craftmanship; hence it will be possible
+for the bard to play higher level songs only with more powerful instruments.
+E.g. a Harp(+1) will allow you to cast "Stop Singing(I)" and "Song of the
+Sun(I)". A Harp(+2) would allow you to sing those songs, as well as "Flow of
+Life(II)".
+
+There are 3 different types of instruments: Harps, Drums and Horns. Each type
+of instrument contains a different family of musical songs:
