The following spells can be cast from the melodic source (or the "melodic spell list"). Everyone knows music is magical, but few are gifted enough to invoke actual supernatural effects through music. Despite the implication of melodic, some of these spells revolve around rhythm or other forms of performance than actual music. Many melodic spells require as a material component a musical instrument.
