Description
Ars Musique
An Ars Nouveau add-on, introducing musical magic.
Combine mystical ingredients in the Enchanting Apparatus to craft Music Discs. Recipes have been provided for every music disc from Minecraft, Ars Nouveau, plus over 100 additional mods.
Craft a Bard's Bandeau to play Music Discs wherever you go, spreading potion effects to nearby players, and monsters. Wearing Elemental Foci from Ars Elemental, or Ars Elemancy, adds effects based on the focus spell school. See the Bard's Bandeau entry for more details.
Bard's Bandeau
The Bard's Bandeau is a Curio head item which can be used to play Music Discs. Use the Bard's Bandeau in your main hand (or use the hotkey), then add music discs from your inventory into the Bandeau's inventory. To play a song, use the head Curio hotkey, then select the song to play. Music Discs played with the Bard's Bandeau apply potion effects to nearby Players, and Monsters, until the music stops.
With Ars Elemental
When a focus from Ars Elemental is equipped, playing music applies additional effects to nearby players and monsters.
