The cloak acts as a cloak of epic Charisma +34. Furthermore, when Bragi is struck by a magical weapon while wearing the cloak, the cloak casts greater dispel magic on the weapon, to a maximum of once per day per weapon (as the negating epic armor special ability)Harp of Shaping Song: This beautifully crafted harp inspires even the inanimate, allowing Bragi to shape objects by music (making a Perform check as if it were a Craft check of any type; when he does this, he makes a check once per minute rather than once per week). He can even use it to create living beings; this requires a Perform check of DC 25 + (creature's HD x 5), takes ten minutes of playing for every Hit Die of the creature, and otherwise acts as the Great Breath cosmic ability (Bragi must still expend quintessence to create creatures in this way).Mirror-Sheen Periapt: This amulet reflects damage on any attacker as per the Specular cosmic ability.Rune-Cutter: Bragi's finely crafted longsword; its edge glitters with an aurora of ice-blue, sea-green, and violet. Rune-Cutter is a +12 icy blast longsword that can cut through magical effects; any object or creature struck by the blade is affected by a targeted dispel (as per dispel magic) with a dispel check result equal to the damage inflicted (after damage reduction, cold resistance, and similar effects). Similarly, Rune-Cutter can be used to attack any ongoing spell effect with a physical form (such as a wall of force, forcecage, prismatic sphere, etc.), rolling damage normally to determine the dispel result.BRAGI'S REALMBragi's realm has a radius of 100 miles. It is a region of open park-like woodland and deep, shadowy forest, centered on the hall of Bragi himself – a structure combining feast-hall, library of lore, and bardic college.</blockquote>
