Loresinging is a bardic ability allowing a singer to divine the properties of an item with the sound of his voice. Some items will simply tell you its properties while others have a specific story attached to them that can only be observed through a bard, often called a loresong itself due to the nature in which the story is revealed.
Different items have different amounts of difficulty to obtain the information from. In order to increase a loresong's strength and ability to divine a loresong from an item, various verses and rhyme schemes can be used to obtain the loresong. Specifically, two-line loresongs with no rhymes are less powerful than two-line verses with a rhyme scheme. And, a four-line verse with a rhyme scheme is even more powerful. Rhymes must be words that rhyme by spelling, such as the infamous hand/land rhyme. However, more and floor, though they rhyme when spoken aloud, they do not count as rhymes for the purpose of loresongs.
Additionally, if certain keywords are used (value, purpose, magic, and special ability) in a loresong, you can obtain certain bits of information from the item.
When loresinging to a magical or enhancive item, a Bard may determine whether or not the item will be destroyed when its last magical or enhancive charge has been expended.
When singing to a piece of armor with resistance to a damage type, a proper loresong will tell the level of resistance.
Example Messaging
- Rechargable gem:
- From the pitch of the vibration you determine that the purpose of the emerald is as a gem of some kind. As you sing, the emerald seems to resonate with your voice, and you feel it trying to draw power from you. It pulses strongly with the rhythm of your words.
- Enhancive item (4th verse):
- The bracer resonates with your voice, indicating that it enhances its owner in the following ways:
- It provides a bonus of 8 to Agility.
- This enhancement may not be used by adventurers who have not trained 36 times.
- It provides a bonus of 4 to Aura.
- This enhancement may not be used by adventurers who have not trained 20 times.
- It provides a bonus of 2 to Mana Recovery.
- This enhancement may not be used by adventurers who have not trained 10 times.
- The bracer looks to have a lot of charges remaining.
- You sense that the aquamarine bracer will crumble into dust after its last enhancive charge has been expended.
