[CF-Devel] New Skill idea - Music

I just had an interesting idea for new skills, Musical skills.  This might
be a bit of work since it would require a new type of item to be added
(instruments), but I think it would be a great feature.  Basically,
players could learn to play instruments, and learn different kinds of
music to play, and it could give some interesting effects, not to mention
add a bit more flavor to the game (I'd love to have a Bard class :))
The effects would vary depending on the type of music played and whether
or not the instrument had any magical properties.  For instance, a player
could learn a lullaby that would put charaters/monsters to sleep, or
pacify them.  Or they could learn fast-paced high-tempo music that would
temporarily raise their speed.  And the intruments could have magical
properties such as a flute that heals characters when you play it to them,
or a horn that shoots fireballs, etc.
Like I said, that would be quite a bit of work, but I think it would spice
up the game quite a bit, and add a little more variety.
Comments anyone?
