Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement by a bard)

This beautifully crafted lute is adorned with intricate carvings depicting scenes of rest and rejuvenation. Its strings shimmer with a faint, golden glow, and it resonates with a calming, almost ethereal tune even when not played.

Properties:

• The Lute of Momentary Reprieve holds 3 charges. As a bonus action, the wielder can play a soothing melody to spend one charge and heal a creature they can see within 30 feet for 10 hit points. This healing represents a brief moment of relief, revitalizing the target.
• The lute regains all expended charges upon completion of a short rest.
• If a bard uses this lute as their spellcasting focus, they feel a sense of calm and focus, slightly enhancing their connection to their music and magic.
