[Arcane] Tinkerer’s Tune

Wondrous Item, Uncommon (requires Attunement)

Component: Construct plating

Professor Yord was tired of carrying both his tools and his instrument around with him. The only logical step? To smash the two together! There’s no such thing as overengineering for any self-respecting professor of artifice. 

Clockwork Strings. This item can be used as an Arcane Focus, a set of Tinker's Tools, or a Musical Instrument that imitates the sound of any string instrument. If you’re proficient with any string instrument, you’re proficient with this one as well. As an action, you can compact the item into a non-functional state in the form of a 1-foot disc, or unfold it back into an instrument.

Key Change. You can tune this item to resonate with a particular school of magic. While holding the item, you can use a Bonus Action to change which school of magic it resonates with. Also as a Bonus Action, you can strum the instrument, causing any spells or magical items of that school within 30 feet of you to vibrate noticeably. You also know the level of the spell or rarity of the item when applicable.

---------------------------------------

Common variant: Remove the Key Change property.

Rare variant: You gain a +1 bonus to the attack bonus and spell save DC of any spells cast using this item as a Spellcasting Focus, as long as they are of the school of magic with which the instrument is resonating.
