The Harp of Valor is a beautiful enchanted +2 shortbow that can also cast two spells using its charges.
Description[]
This bow has ten strings and doubles as a lyre or small harp; you're proficient with the instrument while you're attuned to it. You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. In addition, arrows fired from the bow deal thunder damage instead of piercing damage. Whenever you make a Charisma (Performance) check using the bow as an instrument, you make the check with advantage.
The bow has 10 charges and regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. While holding the bow, you can use an action to expend up to 5 of its charges to cast either the Thunderwave or Magic Missile spell from it, using your spell save DC. For 1 charge, you cast the 1st-level version of the spell. You can increase the spell slot level by one for each additional charge you expend.[4]
History[]
Bells Hells purchased the harp from The Invulnerable Vagrant in Zadash when they were passing through on their way to Aeor following the Apogee Solstice of 843 PD. Chetney decided to keep it for himself, and his friends were very excited to hear him playing.[5]

Days later, after a night's rest at Ligament Manor, the group unanimously decided that Dorian Storm should use the Quintessence Array to absorb the harp before they returned to Vasselheim. He permanently gained advantage on performance checks and 5 more maximum hit points, and gained temporary advantage on all attacks, saves, and checks.[6]
