Description
Crafted by a master artificer, this small device amplifies your performance with thunderous volume.
You can use the amplifier as a Spellcasting Focus for your Bard spells.
The amplifier can be used to double the audible range of your voice or your instrument. This does not effect the range of any spells not explicitly listed in this item's description, but this effect does double the range of your Bardic Inspiration and Countercharm abilities.
You learn the Thunderclap cantrip if you don't know it already, and you always have the spell prepared. When you cast either spell while attuned to the amplifier and within 5 feet of it, you may choose to amplify the spell. This doubles the spell's range and audible distance, and the amplifier is considered the origin of the spell rather than yourself. Additionally, when you cast in this way, the spell's area increases to a 30-foot cube and the distance that creatures or objects pushed by the spell are moved doubles from 10 to 20 feet.
