Phalar Aluve: Melody

Notes

• The condition Singing Sword: Shrieking is applied to the wielder of Phalar Aluve.
• The condition Singing Sword: Shriek is applied to enemies within the area of effect.
• Despite what the in-game descriptions implies, the additional thunder damage triggers on any damage dealt to targets in aura from any source (not just from weapon attacks from Phalar Aluve, and not just damage from direct party members). Effects that hit multiple times (such as  Magic Missile) trigger the thunder damage multiple times.
• The 1d4⁠⁠Thunder damage does not trigger items or effects which require thunder damage, such as  Hat of Storm Scion's Power,  Gloves of Belligerent Skies, or  Prophecy: Thunderous Applause regardless of whether the character triggering the damage has the item/effect or is the character activating  Phalar Aluve: Shriek. This is because the thunder damage dealt to the enemy is from a passive effect placed on the enemy, rather than originating from the attacker which is necessary to trigger any such items or effect.
  • This effect is changed in Honour difficulty, and functions as expected.

Bugs

• Despite its description, Shriek affects all saving throws and attack rolls made by the affected target.
