This elegant lyre is carved from jade and strung with gold wire. Rubies adorn its frame.
This masterwork lyre grants you a +2 circumstance bonus on Perform (string instruments) checks. If you have at least 10 ranks in Perform (string instruments), you can also command it to produce one of three spell effects (break enchantment, dimension door, or shout), each once per day.
If you pick up a Cli lyre but do not have 10 or more ranks in Perform (string instruments), the instrument bestows one negative level on you, which persists for as long as you hold it. This negative level never results in actual level loss, but it cannot be overcome in any way (including restoration spells) while the instrument is held.
Lore: See Anstruth harp (page 150).
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item , Break Enchantment, Dimension Door, Shout Bard.
Cost to Create: 9,000 gp (plus 100 gp for masterwork lyre), 720 XP, 18 day(s).
