|description = Practicing is done simply by playing an instrument. The more you play an instrument, the more adept you will be with that instrument. However, in order to establish a bond with an instrument, you must first purchase a "virgin" instrument (one never before played by another musician). As soon as you begin playing, that instrument will then bear your mark and practicing it will increase its bond to you. The greater your affinity to an instrument, the better you can play it (increasing the strength of some musical spells and decreasing the equilibrium it takes to play that instrument). Once an instrument reaches maestro level, practicing will not increase its strength. You may practice with any number of instruments. | |description = Practicing is done simply by playing an instrument. The more you play an instrument, the more adept you will be with that instrument.
