Description

Chant of Long Years allows the user to perform ceremonies dedicated to Wisdom. It is common for a magical musical instrument of this type to be decorated with koans, parables or wise sayings. A chant of the long years may be any type of musical instrument, but most often it is a soft or quiet woodwind instrument.

This instrument is equally valuable to a priest who is dedicated to one of the other six virtues as it is to a priest who is dedicated to none of the virtues - a priest of the Way. Indeed, in some ways it is more useful to the latter philosophy of priest - it allows them to use the ceremonies of anointing, consecration and hallowing; without an instrument such as this, they would be restricted to supporting other priests in creating these auras. Likewise, a priest dedicated to a virtue other than {{{1}}} can partake of a little of the versatility of the priest dedicated to the Way as a whole, aiding priests in the creation of an aura as if they shared their dedication.

Some artisans believe Wisdom is represented by Irremais, Rune of Wisdom.
