With a quick series of wrist flicks, music fills the air. While the music can be heard as if it were performed normally at a distance, creatures in the spell's area become affected in more significant ways. When you cast musical shift, select a key signature (to affect enemies) and a time signature (to affect allies) from the options below; all creatures within the area are affected as indicated. You can change the key signature or time signature as part of the action you take when you Sustain the spell.
Flat (key signature) Whenever an enemy critically fails at a Strike, saving throw, or skill check, they fall Prone in addition to other effects from the critical failure.
Natural (key signature) Enemies take a –2 status penalty to attack rolls.
Sharp (key signature) Whenever an enemy takes piercing or slashing damage, they also take 2d6 persistent bleed damage.
Double (time signature) You and your allies become Quickened and can use the extra action each round only for Leap, Stand, Step, or Stride actions.
Quadruple (time signature) You and your allies gain a +2 status bonus to attack rolls.
Triple (time signature) You and your allies gain a +2 status bonus to Armor Class and Reflex saving throws.
Spell Effect: Musical Shift
Traits
Auditory actions and effects rely on sound. An action with the auditory trait can be successfully performed only if the creature using the action can speak or otherwise produce the required sounds. A spell or effect with the auditory trait has its effect only if the target can hear it. This applies only to sound-based parts of the effect, as determined by the GM. This is different from a sonic effect, which still affects targets who can't hear it (such as deaf targets) as long as the effect itself makes sound.
An action with this trait requires a degree of mental concentration and discipline.
You must physically manipulate an item or make gestures to use an action with this trait. Creatures without a suitable appendage can't perform actions with this trait. Manipulate actions often trigger reactions.
