Senchán Torpéist's Lute

​Origin
Senchán Torpéist (c. 560–647 AD) was a Gaelic-Irish poet, specifically the Chief Poet of Connacht in 598 AD. An Ollamh Érenn, or Chief Ollam of Ireland, was a professional title of Gaelic Ireland, whose social status was equal to that of the king. William Shakespeare mentions the power of Irish poets "rhyming rats to death", a remark apparently based on an incident when Seanchan, finding that rats had eaten his dinner, uttered the vindictive aer: "Rats have sharp snouts/Yet are poor fighters..." which killed ten of them on the spot.

​Effects
When played, lyrics sung by the user will gain power based on the emotion, intent, meaning (literal or metaphorical) and/or context behind their lyrics. Some songs merely influence emotions, some perform physical actions. The more emotion behind these words, be they the player's or the song's own emotional background, the stronger the effects. The way the lyrics' effects manifest seem to be random if no particular emotion or intent is behind them; however, the singer is ​capable of choosing how the effects manifest (literally or otherwise). Sometimes lyrics will manifest their abilities in multiple ways at once.
