Talk:Hildegard of Scopia's Lute/@comment-1674153-20160730231057

I like the effects, but I'm hesitant about the downsides, if only because 1) The lute was apparently able to make him fly without that downside up until the very end and 2) any downside that causes others to consider the user as anything culturally based, such as a heretic, depends on the user's culture having a definition of that idea should this artifact ever be used. It wouldn't always work.

Honestly, I think if you consider the practicality of the artifact as an actual method of transportation, it's a solid enough downside.
