-The nature of religious music varies by faith, with different traditions emphasizing particular instruments, vocal styles, and harmonic structures. Some gods demand solemn, reverent chanting, while others inspire joyous, rhythmic celebrations of faith. In some cases, music is believed to carry divine power, reinforcing the authority of clerics and strengthening spells, blessings, and religious ceremonies. Certain hymns may only be performed by ordained figures, while others are open to entire congregations.

-Temples and shrines often have choirs, sacred musicians, or devoted chanters whose voices are said to carry divine resonance. Some songs may be enchanted to produce tangible effects, such as warding off evil spirits, bolstering morale, or even calling forth divine intervention in moments of great need.  Characters must choose a religion, which defines the nature and extent of both their musical ability and their knowledge within a larger field.

 :* '''[[Inspired Chorus (sage ability)|Inspired Chorus]]''': allows the character to give a 10-minute performance, conducting four others with sufficient knowledge to either sing or play an instrument.  The effect bestows a +2 bonus to the hit points of up to 30 listeners, who must be of the same religion as the character with this skill, representing an uplifted spirit and vigour.  This benefit persists up to 12 hours following the performance.
-:* '''[[Sustaining Melody (sage ability)|Sustaining Melody]]''': allows the character to draw physical and mental nourishment from their own religious music.
