A type of Functional Magic that works via music, where singing a certain song or playing a magical instrument causes spell-like effects to occur. This may be derived from the notion of words containing legitimate power when spoken in the right way (somewhat akin to true name magic). A Wandering Minstrel, Magical Flutist or Music Meister may have this as their primary method of fighting. The Musical Assassin is a particularly nasty variant. Often shows up as the Sub-Trope Mind-Control Music, or it can buff allies in a justified Theme Music Power-Up. Villains who use magic like this are often foiled by would-be victims who are hearing impaired. Ocarinas are a popular instrument for this. Perhaps this is due to their ancient history or simple yet exotic sound. Maybe it's because Link used one in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It certainly doesn't hurt that they are easily portable, which justifies their use in a more action-packed adventure. Speaking of "ancient history", this trope is definitely Older Than Feudalism (the tales of Orpheus date as far back as 5th century BC), and possibly Older Than Dirt. If rhyming music is a requirement, see also Rhyming Wizardry. Disco Tech is the tech equivalent. Compare The Power of Rock, Brown Note, Magic Dance. Also see the Sub-Trope, Mind-Control Music. |

The Smurfs love magical music. One episode has Harmony Smurf playing a magical bagpipe that puts all the other Smurfs into comas. In another episode, Harmony just plays his ordinary horn, and it has the effect of attracting the Explosive Breeder Fuzzles toward him. Papa Smurf has Harmony use the music to lure the Fuzzles away from the village, where they get captured by Gargamel instead of the Smurfs. Indeed, the original Smurfs movie, The Smurfs and the Magic Flute, was about them cutting down a huge tree to carve a tiny little magic flute... and that's for stopping somebody who has another magic flute that they made. |

While Twilight Princess doesn't have an instrument per se, Link can blow (or howl in wolf form) on grass whistles to summon Epona or birds, and late in the game gets a whistle that can also call Epona. And in his wolf form, Link can also howl at Howling Stones to summon the Golden Wolf/Hero's Spirit and learn new moves from him. | |

The Sirens of Greek mythology were creatures with hypnotic singing voices; their singing enchanted sailors to crash to their deaths on the rocks. Orpheus was able to counteract them with his lute in the myth that inspired Jason and the Argonauts. Over the years, this has caused myths to bleed together and people to associate this trait with mermaids instead - to the point that we now have a trope for it. | |

Samurai Jack: In "Jack and the Rave", an evil DJ named Stylbator plays hypnotizing rave music that enslaves the local teenagers of a small town, forcing them to do evil deeds in the name of Aku. In the Season 5 premiere episode, Jack fights the mercenary Scaramouche; who uses a magic flute to form a golem out of stone rubble to attack Jack, scat-singing to telekinetically levitate and control his scimitar, and a dagger shaped like a tuning fork to shatter Jack's combat knives using its high frequency. |

Monster Hunter: The Hunting Horn weapon in the series can bestow its player and their allies with a huge variety of different beneficial effects that emulate those of various items and equipment skills, such as healing, status ailment removal, and immunity to monster roars. Each horn has a limited selection of songs it can play for the sake of keeping it balanced, though. Monster Hunter 3 (Tri): The Qurupeco is able to produce similar benefits for itself and other monsters in its vicinity by singing. However, hitting its throat sac before it finishes a song can cause it to mess up and heal/buff you, instead. |

In Bleach, Rose's Bankai, Kinshara Butoudan, conjures a troupe of golden dancers and a pair of floating hands, one of which carries a conducting baton. Rose uses the hands to play music and control the dancers, who use the music as a medium to cast powerful illusions on Rose's target. They may think that they are being drowned in a whirlpool, or that they are being burned in potent streams of fire, with the damage manifesting in reality thanks to the music tricking their hearts into believing that it is all real. Because Rose is kind enough to explain his Bankai to Mask de Masculine, the latter figures out its Logical Weakness and crushes his own eardrums to render himself immune to the music, something so extreme Rose did not believe anyone would think to try it. | |

Fire Emblem: In Binding Blade and Blazing Blade, while Ninian and Lalum invoke Magic Dances, the bards Nils and Elphin prefer to use this to restore movement to ally units. The herons' galdrar in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn have similar effects, but depending on the song, they might do more... like restoring damaged souls back to normal and reviving the Serenes Forest. In Fire Emblem Fates, the Songstress Azura uses her songs and water powers to help her companions. |

Angel has a bit of a variation: Lorne's singing abilities (great though they are) don't confer any magical effects, but when he hears other people sing, then he is able to read their destinies. Well, he is able to sing high enough to cause physical pain to people and incapacitate them. And even ordinary singing is too much for most inhabitants of his dimension. | |

The Chronicles of Prydain: The bard Fflewddur Fflam carries an enchanted harp. His music is not normally magical, but in the last book, The High King, he uses the harp to keep the party from freezing to death. It starts to play by itself when he burns it, giving them the courage to finish the journey. The harp also tends to stretch its strings whenever its owner stretches the truth. As Fflewddur is a born storyteller, many broken strings ensue. | |

As the Alicorn god of Music, Blue Suede Heartstrings holds an extremely impressive mastery over music in general, which isn't surprising considering his origins as a musician. While he can use his music to calm and soothe listeners like Mier does, Blue's entry notes that he can also inspire joy and hope in his listeners depending on what song he plays. Other techniques include empowering people physically and magically, dispelling the effects of fear and hatred-based spells, generating solid magic constructs of musical bars and notes to slam and crush enemies, growing soundwave "tentacles" to restrain and strangle his opponents, firing beams of musical energy, and healing. While he does run into the problem of people suffering from deafness and/or hearing problems, Blue is creative enough to try get around this disability by stomping the ground (or any surface, really) so they could "feel" his music and allow the magic to take effect. For wide-scale effects, he can generate an energy-based stage and extra magic instruments for fellow musicians to play with, allowing his magic to reach farther than ever. The Dazzling Divas' entries reveal that he can turn people into his Clerics and grant them the ability to use music-related magic through his Music domain, allowing the Dazzling Divas to perform greater feats when calling upon his power. | |

Winx Club: Musa is the fairy of sound and music. Besides using those concepts in her spell, she usually uses attacks that are disco themed and can create disco-ball force-fields, distracting musical blasts, and virtual speakers which enclose an enemy and immobilize them through incredibly loud bass music. Musa can also create walls and barriers of the musical scale and explosive musical notes. | |

The theme of Magic Music comes through several times during Wandersong, because there's more than a few examples of power through song. Eya, the goddess who created the world, did so through song. To bring about The End of the World as We Know It (a necessary precursor to remaking it), she'll destroy it again by singing. The bardic protagonist can communicate with wildlife, ghosts, and plants, and enter the worlds of the Overseers just with the power of song. They’re on a quest to learn the Earthsong, which, if sung by every living thing in the world together, is said will convince Eya not to destroy it. In Mohabumi, music is revealed to be a primitive form of magic, meaning the Bard can activate platforms by singing simple tunes. |

In the Ah!

Shining Resonance features this in spades — it goes so far that most if not all party members actually fight with weapons that double as musical instruments known as Armonics used to play "legendary scores" left behind by ancient dragons known as Rune Songs. These songs work by manipulating draconic energy (itself a shorthand for the natural magical energy of the world that in large enough concentrations can collect and create dragons) to perform magic spells. The most powerful song of all even functions as a World-Healing Wave, though only if all seven Armonics are brought and played together. | |

Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis splatters this trope all over the Retem region, with DOLLS-enhancing Metius and earth-shredding Dustyl units. There's also the chieftains of Retem, whose songs tilt the odds in ARKS' favor whenever they perform. While most chieftains improve ARKS' performance directly during these fights, Nadereh's music hinders the DOLLS instead, and not even Dark Falz is unaffected by her performance. One has to wonder if it works on the Starless, however... | |

The Dresden Files: In Dead Beat, we learn that necromancers require a steady rhythm to maintain control of whatever corpses they've raised. Typically, this can be done by beating a drum or just tapping a book against your thigh. Or you could use a huge sub-woofer mounted on a car. Necromancy aside, magic can be powered by emotion, and music can inspire emotion; therefore, music is one of many tools available to magic users. | |

This is the Argent Adept's thing in Sentinels of the Multiverse. Mechanically, he uses both Equipment (his instruments) and Ongoings (his songs); by activating an instrument's power, he can trigger the effects of the songs, which are divided into Rhythm, Harmony, and Melody, with Rhythm and Harmony additionally having both Perform and Accompany effects that are activated separately. It's all rather complicated, so he's a lot easier to run in the digital version, but the results speak for themselves: while the Adept's setup time rivals that of the Great Wall of China, he can get some truly ridiculous power loops when he gets going, distributing heals, buffs, cards, plays, and power uses to allies. He does have some damaging effects; he just rarely uses them, because who needs to inflict small amounts of ice, fire, or sonic damage when you could massively buff your teammates, who are better at that? | |

Sucked into his own mind by one of the ghosts, he receives advice from his dad and spends the next 3-4 pages doing nothing but humming the catchy Ghostbusters theme, which (of course) enables him to punch, chop, and finally stab the final ghost. | |

In Background Pony, Luna's elegies have powerful magic effects such as instilling paranoia or joy, or causing blindness and freezing cold, and they seem to be the only key to unlocking Lyra's curse. Also, the Cosmic Matriarch's song is what created the world in the first place. | |

In The Keys Stand Alone: The Soft World, John Lennon and George Harrison encounter a really bad bard with a magic lute that fools everyone except them into thinking he's wonderful. George is so offended that he performs the musical equivalent of a Curb-Stomp Battle by pulling his own (non-magical) guitar from his "closet" and proceeding to get much the same reaction from the audience. | |

In Wicked, Elphaba sings "Eleka Namen Atum Atum Eleka Namen; Eleka Namen Atum Atum Eleka Namen" in an attempt to magically save Fiyero's life, and then proceeds to lampshade this with "What good is this chanting? I don't even know what I'm reading!" It does save him, but she doesn't learn this until later. | |

At the start of EarthBound (1994), Buzz-Buzz gives Ness the Sound Stone and tasks him with journeying to the eight 'Your Sanctuary' locations, each of which conferring part of a song. In a similar vein to the prequel above, this song relates in some way to Ness' early childhood, and, with every melody gathered, Ness experiences a nostalgic sensation, such as the smell of his favourite food, or an image of his mother from when she was younger. When all of the melodies are recorded on the Sound Stone, Ness is whisked away to Magicant to face off against his Nightmare. | |

Lythande: The titular character is a Wandering Minstrel and mercenary mage. In the story "Sea Wrack", Lythande is able to enthrall an inn's worth of people with the lute and help heal someone who had been caught by the song of a Siren, unable to think of anything else. In the same story, the Siren's song has enough power to cause men to come to it to be eaten, so the fishing village is struggling. The song is powerful enough to even get to Lythande. |

Tolkien's Legendarium: As explained in The Silmarillion, Arda, the world in which Middle-earth exists, was literally sung into being through the Ainulindalë, or the Music of the Ainur. The Ainur - a race of angelic beings created by the deity Eru Illuvatar - actually laid out the shape and destiny of the universe by singing, so it makes sense that music would continue to have power within the physical world. As such, anyone with the genealogical clout - typically an Ainur or an exceptionally skilled/powerful elf - and lyrical ability can perform a lot of subtle and overt magic, literally shaping the world around them through words and song: The Two Trees of Valinor — colossal lumionus flora and precursors to the Sun and Moon — were created by the chanting and singing of Yavanna, the Ainur who ruled over all plant life. In Beren and Lúthien, Finrod Felagund, an elf of the Noldor clan and the eldest brother of Galadriel, dueled with Sauron by chanting songs of power. He lost.. Later, Lúthien Tinúviel, the direct ancestor of Arwen Evenstar, used her own music to bring Sauron's fortress down and to put Morgoth and all his minions in his fortress to sleep. Other characters who could exercise magical abilities through singing include Tom Bombadil and Old Man Willow. |

Xanth: Features triplets named Melody, Harmony, and Rhythm, who can "sing and play things real". This can mean anything from turning a girl into a sentient castle to time travel, and they can even identify (though not counter) the magic of the Demons, Xanth's equivalent of gods. Nona, from the Mode series, is fated to overthrow her world's rulers; she can convert others to her cause with a song. Later, she teaches a dragon to stun rats by singing, allowing it to feed on them instead of villagers and completely overhauling a planet's social structure (although Nona didn't come up with the idea). And, as mentioned above, Being a Green Mother in the Incarnations series is magic music incarnate. | |

The priest, Gao, says any song will do, but Mei's grandma is old-fashioned and has everyone do a Cantonese chant.

After she vanishes into the dark worlds, he goes to find her, only to discover that his poetry now works like (sometimes devastating) spells. He later discovers that there is a prophecy about a "witch's husband", since witches never marry, who is supposed to be the most powerful sorcerer who ever lived. | |

In GaoGaiGar, 3G's American branch/NASA created a G-Stone Powered robot known as Mic Sounders the 13th, which runs on this trope. It's armed with various disks that, once installed and he's equipped with the Dazzling Double V Keytar and/or the Thundering Break microphone, can unleash amazing effects. The Disk M, which plays the instrumental to the series' theme, cancels out certain enemies' electronic functions; the Disk P, which plays "Power of Desire", recharges other G-Stone Powered Machines; the deadly Disk X, which is tuned directly to Zondar Metal and, theoretically, anything else it knows its atomic structure of; and Disk F, which summons a gigantic GaoFighGar! | |

The Owl House refers to these techniques as Bard Magic. Witches in this Coven channel their magic through their music and performances to either put people or objects under their sway, disrupt the magic of others, or just straight-up fire sonic blades at their enemies. It can be channeled using any instrument, which Bard witches can summon at will, though some bard spells can also be channeled through singing or whistling. | |

Macross introduced in later series the concept of Fold Waves and Fold Receptor Factors. The former are superdimension waves that form the basis of the series' Faster-Than-Light Travel and communications. The latter is the discovery that certain people have the ability to sense and produce these, usually while singing. Specific examples follow: Super Dimension Fortress Macross: It's debatable whether Minmay's effect on the Zentraedi is a product of Fold Waves or just cultural exposure, but Expanded Universe materials have given Minmay a powerful Fold Receptor Factor. In Macross II, the Marduk have developed their own morale-boost-giving singers, the Emulators. The plot gets definitely kickstarted when one of them, a girl named Ishtar, is retrieved by Intrepid Reporter Hibiki and starts learning about humanity... Macross 7 has this (called "Song Energy" in series) as a fundamental part of the premise. The alien life energy draining antagonists ("Protodeviln") experience literal pain when exposed to music, due to the protagonist's "Anima Spiritia". Sure, it's not genuinely magical, but you wouldn't know that from the laser speaker pods and light show Fire Bomber puts on. And the ultimate resolution of this is that, right at the last moment before the leader of said aliens uncontrolably sucks out the life of the entire galaxy, the protagonist sings at them so hard that the species learns that they can generate their own life energy by singing, then decide to move on to another dimension. Sharon Apple, the artificial idol from Macross Plus, took control of the Macross' computer network and sang mankind into a blissful stupor. Granted, she was given the tools to do exactly that by one of her creators... while the other, female lead Myung, is stuck trying to fight her. Macross Zero has the quasi-magical effects of the female lead's singing explained through Fold Receptor Factor: the rocks she levitates contain Fold Quartz, and the Protoculture superweapon known as "the bird-man" runs on it. She herself is genetically inclined to have a high fold Receptor Factor specifically attuned to the "bird-man". Macross Frontier explored Fold Waves more fully: it introduced Fold Quartz (a mineral that reacts to Fold Waves), and Ranka as well as Sheryl is able to communicate with the Vajra, at least on a basic level, through her songs thanks to this phenomenon. Macross Delta has as a central premise the main cast combating a Hate Plague through song. All the singers of the idol group Walkure have a high Fold Receptor Factor. Additionally, it turns out that said Hate Plague itself is activated by the singing of Windermere's Wind Singer. |

Dungeons & Dragons: This is a common ability for bards: In 3rd Edition D&D, Bards can not only play magical music, but can also cast spells — but unlike any other class, every spell they cast has a vocal component, and also unlike any other class, they cannot cast silent spells as a bard even if they would have the ability to do so otherwise. It does not strictly have to be music, but magical recitation (Perform [oratory], Perform [comedy] and Perform [acting] all qualifies the bard to use their abilities) is close enough. The 2nd Edition sourcebook Player's Option: Spells and Magic introduces the Song Mage, who faces the same restrictions. Supplemental 3rd Edition material results in new ways to "spend" bardic songs, alternate bardic music to learn, ways to further combine music and magic, prestige classes like the Virtuoso and Lyric Thaumaturge, new instrument types, and bayonets to suit lutes, flutes, and fiddles of every size. The 3rd Ed Dungeon Master's Guide features a number of magical musical instruments, such as bells, lyres, drums, flutes, and pipes that have helpful or harmful effects. Satyrs' pipes are especially fun. Dvati are a race of twins with natural song powers, notably the "echo attack": by combining their voices into one maddening cacophony, a Dvati pair can confuse a creature they flank. In 3rd edition, their favored class is Bard. The alternate magic system Spheres of Power has the Skilled Casting drawback, which has you use a Perform, Profession, or Craft check to use your magic, so you can literally walk on walls by singing Dancin' on the Ceiling. |

In Corrector Yui, Yui and her friends Haruna, Reiko and Akiko were rehearsing a song for their School Festival. it becomes a plot point later, when Yui's "I Know You Are in There Somewhere" Fight speech to a Brainwashed and Crazy Haruna includes her singing the same song instead of fighting her, breaking through Haruna's brainwashing and reverting her back to who she usually is. Later, Professor Inukai uses Yui's singing as a part of his battle strategy against the Big Bad, who is weak against certain sounds, and Haruna returns the favor to Yui by singing the song to her when she's about to lose the battle against Grosser, giving Yui her strength back so she can keep on fighting. | |

Siren: The Drowning has the Sirens' equivalent of magic, Verses, work on this concept. The Verse is composed with three different parts, all required to have it function. The Introduction describes what or who the Siren is targeting with the Verse and its duration, the Opus is what she's using to affect the target or affecting within the target, and the Conclusion dictates how much she can wield the Opuses. It should be noted that a Siren may need to use a Performance to help the Verse, but if she tries without one then she may find her Verse significantly depowered. | |

EXA_PICO: The all-female race of Reyvateils was created with the ability to create various magical effects through their songs. This includes things like healing, creating elemental bursts, summoning beings to attack, or even (on the upper scale of things) creating entire continents. Songs can sometimes be in upwards of 6 minutes in song length and can either be sung solo or in combination with other Reyvateils. What makes this particularly interesting is that a single song can have multiple voices in it at any given time, but it is still being sung by one individual capable of singing in multiple voices at once. (The official explanation is that the singer only sings the main part and the Background Magic Field supplies the accompaniment.) Additionally, most of the music has very computer-style names usually including EXEC or some variation. The implication of many of these is that the music is similar to some kind of computer executable that is executed by the goddess of the land. "Magical languages" (Hymmnos, Pastalia, Carmena Foreluna, and Ar Ciela) are used to create the really earth-shattering effects. The Nosurge prequel duology also introduces Emotional Song Pact and REON-4132, the latter of which is pretty much a programming language that can be sung. Note that the entire setting of the franchise depends on song magic. Airships run on symphonic power, item crafting is due to applied "Wave Theory" (yes, fictional physics), the initial singularity sung the universe... |

In Drakengard 3 the power of the Intoners is based around songs. If they enter Intoner Mode they begin singing along with the background music and become ridiculously strong. They can also use their singing to help their disciple summon giant magical creatures without paying a price. If they are sufficiently strong they can summon them by themselves. However their songs seem to have unintentional side effects. Note that under most circumstances, calling some of the noises they make "singing" would be a stretch. Zero begins with a berserk scream of bloodlust, Three with a blood-curdling shriek, and Five sounds like she's enjoying herself way too much. |

The Legend of Zelda: Most spells require Link to use an instrument and a certain tune to cast them. This tradition was started in the original The Legend of Zelda, which had a flute with certain magical effects. In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, the Magic Flute can magically summon a bird anywhere in the Light World. Very prominently used in Ocarina of Time (of course), Majora's Mask, and The Wind Waker, with several varieties of magical effects available through music, but nearly every game has at least one example of Magic Music, most often as the Warp Whistle. Taken to the fullest extent of the trope in Link's Awakening, where the 8 Instruments of the Sirens were required to wake the Wind Fish and leave the island, in addition to having an ocarina which had 3 plot device songs. While Twilight Princess doesn't have an instrument per se, Link can blow (or howl in wolf form) on grass whistles to summon Epona or birds, and late in the game gets a whistle that can also call Epona. And in his wolf form, Link can also howl at Howling Stones to summon the Golden Wolf/Hero's Spirit and learn new moves from him. It was obvious that Spirit Tracks would go with this Trope ever since it was revealed that the game's Japanese name was "Earth's Whistle". The "whistle" was revealed to be the Pan-flute like "Spirit Pipes", which are played by using the touchscreen and microphone in tandem. They work almost identically to magic instruments from earlier games. You also play duets with the Lokomo and Zelda with instruments such as bass, shamisen, flute, drums, and oboe, and to some extent... a pair of vocal cords. Which are held by Gage, Steem, Carben, Embrose, Rael, and Zelda, respectively. Skyward Sword has the harp, which is stated from the very beginning to have been passed down by the goddess. Fi also dances along to the songs that Link plays. Oracle of Ages also has a harp, which is used to travel through time. Notably, the Goddess harp is the same harp Sheik uses in Ocarina of Time to teach Link that game's magic music, having been held onto by the Royal Family of Hyrule after it's founded by Skyward Sword Zelda or some descendant. Sheik uses the harp as a weapon in Hyrule Warriors as well, and Zelda is shown holding it in the first cut scene of that game. |

Azure Striker Gunvolt Series: The Muse is an incredibly powerful Septima with the ability to act into other Adept's subconsciousness, often pacifying them or increasing their combat powers. Therefore, it's sought over by many antagonistic factions for different purposes — Sumeragi wants to use it to prevent Adepts from causing further mass destruction, Eden wants to use it to create a group of ultra-boosted Adepts to plunge the old society into chaos, and Asimov was already using it to glue himself into power. It turns out the original bearer of this Septima is Copen's seemingly Muggle sister, Mytyl — the Muse was actually killing her from the inside out until her father extracted it out from her, keeping her alive but frail and mute, which was then transferred into an Artificial Human named Joule. Once the truth gets out to Copen and he personally sees Mytyl in action, he was understandably shocked, that he breaks relations with her while he continues his journey to exterminate all Adepts. | |

Eludoran: Hardly unsurprising that the Lanorei race could achieve magical effects through singing, as the work in question is an Affectionate Parody of J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. Notable examples include Faolan, who could shatter mountains with a whisper; and Malachi who is reputedly even stronger. Also, his cousin Lorelei created a physical disguise for her friend by singing an illusion spell, which was apparently so realistic it made their enemy die of fright on the spot. It makes sense in context as the Lanorei are a race of anthropomorphic canines (mostly wolves) who have raised song and music into communication and artform. | |

The player can use Deuce's flute-wielding fighting style in Final Fantasy Type-0 offensively or defensively. She can make risky close-range or slow-moving long-range attacks or use debuffs on enemies. She can also buff and heal allies including herself. | |

Warehouse 13: Used when a group of bank robbers commit crimes by playing a specific song that sends the listener into blissed-out ecstasy, then taking the money while they're incapacitated. Later cropping up again several times in the show's final season. First, Frances Farmer's Music Box. Sends its winder into easily provoked, telekinetically powered outbursts of pure rage. Then there was Oliver Sacks' Record Player, which puts listeners into comas as long as it's playing, comas so deep muscles and organs atrophy and fail within hours. Finally, Chuck Yeager's Favorite LP. Combined with the above Record Player, produces sonic booms strong enough to throw a person backwards if anyone tries to turn it off. |

Kamen Rider: Most seasons only use music as incidental sound effects during transformations or special attacks, but Kamen Rider Kiva has a violin-playing protagonist, and one episode had him playing the mystically-created violin built by his father to force himself into shapeshifting. His sentient Transformation Trinket, Kivat, uses whistles to summon weapons, call Castle Doran, or even start Kiva's Rider Kick. Then there's Kamen Rider Hibiki, where the enemies can only be fought using "pure sound". The Transformation Trinkets are weaponized instruments, as well, and each Rider carries a set of Disc Animals, which when not in use fold up into compact discs. Kamen Rider Brave uses the DoReMiFa Beat Gashat, based on rhythm-dance games, letting him use a chiptune version of the show's theme song as a weapon. |

Super Mario Bros.: Mario Party DS: The minigame Call of the Goomba has all players attempt to lure as many Goombas as possible by turning a crank to play the Super Mario Bros. Ground theme with an organ-like instrument. The exact speed and tempo the song has to be played at are shown at the start of the minigame (it can be slow, medium or fast). The more accurate a player's performance is, the more Goombas will be lured into them. Whoever has the largest Goomba crowd after 30 seconds wins, though it's possible for more than one character to win if the amount of Goombas is the same for them; however, if this happens with two players in Duel mode, the minigame ends in a tie. Mario & Luigi: Dream Team: The Dreambeats cause any ordinary person who hears them to immediately fall asleep. Antasma and Bowser use their power to knock out the population of Pi'illo Isle and use their dream energy to power the Dream Stone. Paper Mario: Sticker Star: The Mariachi Guys are able to provide enemies with a variety of stat boosts using their guitar tunes. While they never attempt to engage Mario in combat on their own, they'll Flash Step over to him and join in on any battles that are started within earshot of their music. Made more annoying by the fact that they'll run away if they're the only enemy left in battle, plus they're usually hiding in the field, which can make getting rid of them for good rather difficult. |

RuneScape has the elven crystal-singers, who shape and empower divine crystals for specific effects with music. The player learns a little crystal-singing, but is stated to not be as good at it as the elves are. The sea-singers of the East are sirens who train to use their music to control sea animals. Sirens also have the natural ability to hypnotize others with their song, which is the case in the quest "Song From The Depths". |

How to Talk to Girls at Parties: Contains a poem that is either magical or eldritch science so advanced it might as well be, which walks up to the narrator in the form of a beautiful redhead named Triolet. The narrator hears part of it, giving him visions of the doomed world where it was crafted, although his friend drags him out of the party before he can hear it all — and, given that it is indicated to be infectious and capable of rendering a species extinct in only a few generations, this is probably for the best. | |

Spellsinger: When college student and amateur rock musician Jonathan Thomas (Jon-Tom) Meriweather is pulled into another world by an errant spell, he discovers that in this world, he is a spellsinger: a wizard who works magic through music. Jon-Tom quickly finds that his spellsinging is very powerful, but also unpredictable: sometimes it works as intended, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it gives him what he needs, not what he wants. In one particularly extravagant case, he's trying to conjure up a way to attack the Plated Folk, and chooses to sing "Fly Like An Eagle" by the Steve Miller Band. What he actually gets is the elemental personification of the universe itself. | |

As mentioned in the brief blurb regarding MMORPGS above, Final Fantasy XI has had the Bard class since its initial release. The most powerful support class in the game; it applies anywhere from 1 to 4 magical music songs, depending on instrument used, to allies giving almost any conceivable buff, and can also apply many powerful debuffs to foes. A skilled Bard can even keep a different set of songs active on melee and ranged players. | |

One of the trademarks of the Heterodyne family in Girl Genius is their way of "Heterodyning", or humming in a very complicated way which helps the Spark at work to concentrate by cancelling out the background noise/disturbances.

Skyward Sword has the harp, which is stated from the very beginning to have been passed down by the goddess. Fi also dances along to the songs that Link plays. Oracle of Ages also has a harp, which is used to travel through time. Notably, the Goddess harp is the same harp Sheik uses in Ocarina of Time to teach Link that game's magic music, having been held onto by the Royal Family of Hyrule after it's founded by Skyward Sword Zelda or some descendant. Sheik uses the harp as a weapon in Hyrule Warriors as well, and Zelda is shown holding it in the first cut scene of that game. | |

Chrestomanci: In The Magicians of Caprona, this is how most spells work. A particularly amusing example occurs when one of the children decides to use the most powerful song spell ever created, used to drive out an evil devil centuries ago, but with the words changed around to clean the dinner dishes. While it did make the dishes look clean, it backfired when for weeks afterward, anything eaten or cooked with those dishes wound up having a greasy, soapy taste. Oops. This has interesting consequences for Angelica Petrocchi, who knows dozens of spells by heart but can't get them to work as intended due to her tone-deaf singing. She's somewhat infamous for turning her father green. |

In Aquaria, the protagonist Naija sings songs to change her form or to cast spells. As well as this, a twelve-note motif, foreshadowed throughout the game's soundtrack, turns out to be an important part of The Reveal: the Verse, the Sentient Cosmic Force from which Naija draws her abilities, is in fact a literal verse, from a song that the mother of the Creator used to sing to him. He couldn't remember the song's chorus, so he clung so tightly to that verse as a means to preserve her memory that it imprinted onto the world he gave life to. | |

Fraggle Rock: In "The Day the Music Died," the Ditzies, the source of light in Fraggle Rock, are dying, and no one knows why. The caves of Fraggle Rock have all gone dark and, without the light of the Ditzies, everyone but Gobo has entered a Forced Sleep. But as he sings "Shine On, Shine On Me," Ditzies begin to appear. The other Fraggles wake up, joining in the rousing song, and Gobo realizes it's music that keeps the Ditzies alive. In "A Tune For Two," Wembley and Cotterpin sing a duet: "Children of Tomorrow." Not only do all the Fraggles join in, but so do the Doozers, Junior Gorg, and Sprocket. And Sprocket's singing revives Doc's wilted plant, Lucinda, leading Doc to comment about the healing powers of music. |

Dishonored has the Overseer's music boxes, which actually act as anti-magic music - whenever they're played, Corvo, Daud, Emily, and any other assassins in the area will be disoriented and unable to use any magical powers (guns and swords are still fair game, however). The music also slowly drains the player's health, although it's usually drained much more rapidly by the numerous guards who have been alerted to the player's presence by the music. | |

The Elder Scrolls: The extinct Dwemer practiced a form of this. They were a race of extreme Naytheists who created advanced Magitek Steampunk technology. They were also known to bend the "Earth Bones", essentially dead gods whose bodies became the laws of nature and physics in the mortal world. They accomplished this by altering the "tonal architecture," or the sounds and vibrations, of the Earth Bones, which allowed them to hijack the fundamental laws of the world and used them for their own ends. After discovering and attempting to tap into the power of the heart of a not-so-dead god, they did something which caused their entire race to disappear from the Mundus (the combination plane of existence/solar system most of the games take place in most of the time) in a single instant, leading to their presumed extinction. Other races also discovered techniques that allowed them to similarly alter reality. To note: The ancient Yokudans (ancestors to the modern Redguards) had a Samurai-like order of warriors known as Ansei ("Sword-Saints" or "Sword-Singers"). The Ansei were able to summon swords made from their very souls, known as "Shehai". Ancient accounts suggest that with their Shehair, Ansei could cut through waves of traditionally armed-and-armored warriors like a "scythe through wheat". Their most powerful technique was known as the "Pankratosword", which allowed them to "cut the atomos" — a literal Fantastic Nuke. It is said that misuse of this technique caused their original homeland of Yokuda to sink beneath the sea and that it has been lost to time as a result. The Ansei have similarly declined, as there has not been a reliable account of someone using the Shehai since the 2nd Era. Nirn's Dragons are capable of bending reality with their Language of Magic, known to mortalkind as the "Thu'um". As seen most prominently in Skyrim, the ancient Nords were taught this technique during their Merethic Era war against the dragons, who were seeking to be worshipped as gods. They not only defeated the dragons using the Thu'um, but expanded their empire across all of northern Tamriel. It took a coalition including the aforementioned Dwemer for their expansion to finally be halted. One of their leaders, Jurgen Windcaller, experienced a Heel–Faith Turn and preached that the Thu'um should only be used to honor the gods, preaching pacifism and founding the Greybeards. Use of the Thu'um as a weapon of war would drop drastically in the centuries to follow. |

One Piece: Brook's attacks after the Time Skip count as an example. While the power doesn't come from the music but from the power of his Devil Fruit, he can use his music to "move people's souls" effectively influencing them (e.g., made them believe they are in a party instead of a battle). Even before then he demonstrated the skill to lull people to sleep with a gentle lullaby even while they were in pitched combat (unless that was an early demonstration of the same "soul moving" power). Seems to be behind Scratchmen Apoo's powers as well. He can turn his own limbs into musical instruments and play notes that cause explosions or Razor Wind. It's eventually revealed that a surefire way to avoid his otherwise unavoidable attacks is by covering one's ears. |

Ojamajo Doremi probably has the most musical references and motifs of any anime series. Even the magical sparks are shaped like musical notes. When the witches reach a certain level, their "Poron", or wand, is fused with a musical instrument of their choice. When casting magic, a tune played with said instrument can be heard. In fact, most magical artifacts play short musical tunes in-universe when used, including the transformation taps. |

Pokémon: The Pokéflute/Pokémon Whistle can magically wake Pokémon up. In Pokémon Gold and Silver, in lieu of a Pokéflute, you can tune to a certain radio station to wake your Pokémon up. Another radio station, depending on the day of the week, an increase or decrease encounter rates with the Pokémon March and Pokémon Lullaby respectively. In Diamond and Pearl, the event item Azure Flute is used to awaken Arceus. In fact, a good number of the sound-based moves in the game are musical. | |

While there are several other aspects to the show, this is the entire premise around the titular characters in the Japanese drama Daimajin Kanon. The song that was passed down to Kanon from her grandmother is actually a spell that awakens the giant magical evil-fighting statue, Daimajin, from its slumber to save humanity from a demonic invasion. It only works when it's sung "with all of one's heart". | |

Old Kingdom: Necromancers' bells can do some dangerous stuff. Different bells give different effects, and the effect also depends on how the bell is rung. The seventh and final bell, Astarael, kills everyone who hears it — including the player. More significantly in a setting with functioning necromancy, it sends them "deep into death", killing all but the most powerful victims Deader than Dead so they cannot return, and at least delaying the return of the rest longer than other methods. Besides the bells, it's mentioned that necromancers and Abhorsens have to be good at music to be able to use their power. | |

Several Servants in Fate/Grand Order can do this: David and Tristan played ordinary music in life, but as their music was a part of their legend, they both receive the Harp of Healing skill as Servants. When they use this skill, their music invigorates allies, removes negative mental influences, and deflects attacks. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a magus who specializes in casting through music. At one point it's mentioned that he sold his soul to music, which made him immune to Demonic Possession. |

Final Fantasy: The recurring summon Siren inflicts non-elemental damage and the Silence status effect by playing music on her harp. Edward in Final Fantasy IV can inflict damage on enemies, as well as confuse them and put them to sleep, with his harp-playing. He can't be considered a terrible musician; just one that knows his audience, given in the DS remake he can learn Life's Anthem, which rapidly restores the HP of the party as long as he isn't interrupted. And then there's the songs available to the Bardsong Augment... Speaking of Edward, another song used in the game, though not in combat, is one he learned to dispel evil spirits. Coupled with Whisperweed, this is how he cripples the Dark Elf's magnetic powers. Hurdy in Final Fantasy Tactics A2 is pretty much the moogle version of Edward, including the ability to hide. His abilities are a mixed bag, the best being a song that restores MP. Learning that song is another matter.... Fortunately, he can learn other jobs like everyone else. Edwards revamped abilities are likely inspired by the Bard class of Final Fantasy V, which could use several useful songs, for instance to speed up the other party members, restore mana over time, or deal heavy damage to undead enemies. The Bard class has existed for a while in Final Fantasy, including Final Fantasy III and Final Fantasy Tactics; in fact, Hurdy's ability list, other than Hide, is taken practically verbatim from Final Fantasy Tactics. Final Fantasy X-2 has the Songstress class, which is a pop star combination of the standard bard and dancer. It combines magic music to buff the party and magical dances to screw with the enemy. As mentioned in the brief blurb regarding MMORPGS above, Final Fantasy XI has had the Bard class since its initial release. The most powerful support class in the game; it applies anywhere from 1 to 4 magical music songs, depending on instrument used, to allies giving almost any conceivable buff, and can also apply many powerful debuffs to foes. A skilled Bard can even keep a different set of songs active on melee and ranged players. Final Fantasy XIV brought back the Bard class, although they are primarily bowmen they still have several songs for various purposes such as Regenerating Mana, a Damage-Increasing Debuff, a Charged Attack song, a movement buff, and shield from debuffs. The player can use Deuce's flute-wielding fighting style in Final Fantasy Type-0 offensively or defensively. She can make risky close-range or slow-moving long-range attacks or use debuffs on enemies. She can also buff and heal allies including herself. |

In Joel Suzuki, Spectraland is pervaded by a magical force called Aura that can be manipulated with music by a small number of people called wavemakers who have the right brain waves for it. Joel and Felicity learn how to make magic by playing chords on an instrument called a wavebow while thinking about what they want to do. Different chords have different effects - for example, an F chord creates light, and an A chord induces sleep. More advanced players can play riffs or melodies called casts that have more complicated effects, and the most powerful spells are song-length pieces called incantations. | |

Crops up at several points in The Secret World. The siren song near the beginning is produced by some artifact that keeps the Fog away. Later, in Egypt, the song of the Sentinels keeps the Black Pharaoh sealed inside his pyramid. Later still, you find out that the Gaia engines that you encounter towards the end of the New England and Transylvania main stories act as music boxes to keep the Dreamers asleep. | |

Super Sentai / Power Rangers occasionally summon their Humongous Mecha with music. The Green Ranger from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers had a dagger that doubled as a flute, and Power Rangers Ninja Storm's Samurai Ranger had a guitar that could be used to bring in a mammoth zord. A couple Monsters Of The Week used music too, such as the Gnarly Gnome and Guitardo. (There was an ironic twist with the first one; he used his music to hypnotize some teenagers, hoping to lure the Rangers into an ambush, but the plan had a Fatal Flaw that he didn't count on: one member of the group he targeted was hearing impaired, managed to escape, and warn them, ruining any chance of a surprise attack.) |

Codex Equus has a number of mortals and deities who are capable of wielding magical music: As the Alicorn god of Music, Blue Suede Heartstrings holds an extremely impressive mastery over music in general, which isn't surprising considering his origins as a musician. While he can use his music to calm and soothe listeners like Mier does, Blue's entry notes that he can also inspire joy and hope in his listeners depending on what song he plays. Other techniques include empowering people physically and magically, dispelling the effects of fear and hatred-based spells, generating solid magic constructs of musical bars and notes to slam and crush enemies, growing soundwave "tentacles" to restrain and strangle his opponents, firing beams of musical energy, and healing. While he does run into the problem of people suffering from deafness and/or hearing problems, Blue is creative enough to try get around this disability by stomping the ground (or any surface, really) so they could "feel" his music and allow the magic to take effect. For wide-scale effects, he can generate an energy-based stage and extra magic instruments for fellow musicians to play with, allowing his magic to reach farther than ever. The Dazzling Divas' entries reveal that he can turn people into his Clerics and grant them the ability to use music-related magic through his Music domain, allowing the Dazzling Divas to perform greater feats when calling upon his power. Like his mentor, Prince Healing Song embodies Music as a concept, and holds an extremely impressive mastery over music in general due to originating as a mortal music prodigy. His entry notes that Healing Song has the same capabilities as Blue, but true to his name, his Martial Pacifist beliefs made him focus on the healing/supportive aspects of his Music domain. He specializes in (and is skilled in) both healing allies and empowering them with music, and he can protect people from spells fueled by fear and/or hatred with music. Many Trimortidae members are Music deities due to being former musicians in their mortal lives, allowing them to wield music and sound-related magic. Much like his younger twin brother, Bossa Nova Heartstrings is capable of wielding this since he embodies Music. Due to the nature of his job, he is very good at calming and soothing listeners with music, and is capable of playing lullabies to achieve that effect. However, he can also empower and heal his listeners, and dispel effects created by fear and hatred-based spells. His musical healing in particular was how he saved Blue from a monster that severely injured him during their first encounter pre-Ascension. As an Alicorn god of Music, Blue Goldstone has similar powers as Blue Suede Heartstrings and other fellow Music deities. He can create a magical drum set with his own magic and do various percussion-based spells, such as empowering/invigorating listeners, compelling his enemies to dance to his rhythms, and healing his allies. He can also wield sonokinetic magic, allowing him to unleash powerful, disorienting screams, nullify sound indefinitely and send destructive shockwaves through the air or through the ground to make earthquakes. The fact that most of his spells are percussion-based really comes in handy with deaf people, as he can help them by stomping his hooves on the ground and send music-based vibrations to them. Moon Ray Vaughoof possesses some degree of this, which is ironic because he didn't gain a Music domain post-Ascension, despite being a legendary blues musician in life. His entry notes that through music, specifically playing his guitar-scythe hybrid, Pride and Joy, he can bend souls to his will (including living people) and manipulate water in more complicated and intricate ways. |

Not just The Kalevala, traditional Finnish magic in general consisted of spellsongs that were either sung or chanted, depending on the context. This makes sense because most spells were essentially short stories relating the mythological origin of things like fire, iron, living things, and such because knowing the primordial nature of a thing was thought to give power over it. As such, spells were passed down by teaching them as songs, often as part of larger epics or stories, with the poetic meter ensuring the fidelity of the oral transmission. Notably, sages also apparently engaged in contests of magical knowledge which were conducted by singing as many spells as they could remember; many thousands were recorded in the 19th and early 20th century. | |

Child of the Storm discusses the trope, pointing out that 'chant' and 'enchant' come from the same etymological root, and has magical music as an oft-overlooked, fiddly, but potentially incredibly potent form of magic, with its multi-layered nature allowing even an amateur to cast several spells at once - and a master to cast many. To take but one example Taliesin, now better known as Doctor Strange, is the greatest bard in human history (he's described as being to music what Da Vinci was to painting) and teaches classes in this. He also demonstrates that with a sufficiently large amplifier, he's capable of casting spells across the entire world in the sequel's side-story, Unfinished Business. | |

In The Garbage Pail Kids Movie, Captain Manzini eventually tries to get the Garbage Pail Kids back into their garbage pail prison by singing a rhyming incantation. This approach doesn't work, but at the end of the film, he gets the idea to get the Kids into the pail by playing their Leitmotif backwards. Unfortunately, the Garbage Pail Kids take the opportunity to escape, which results in Manzini getting his behind stuck in the pail. | |

Pretty Cure All Stars: Everyone Sing - Miraculous Magic has a very interesting case. Cure Miracle and Cure Magical are constantly lured around by a mysterious song, which they end up finding being hummed by the younger version of the movie's Big Bad. She never understood the meaning of it except that her teacher used to sing it to her all the time. At the end of the movie, she realizes it's the ultimate magic she sought for so long - her teacher had given it to her and she was so blinded by her desire for power that she never realized she already had it. She ends up using it to empower the 11 teams of Cures. | |

Macross 7 has this (called "Song Energy" in series) as a fundamental part of the premise. The alien life energy draining antagonists ("Protodeviln") experience literal pain when exposed to music, due to the protagonist's "Anima Spiritia". Sure, it's not genuinely magical, but you wouldn't know that from the laser speaker pods and light show Fire Bomber puts on. And the ultimate resolution of this is that, right at the last moment before the leader of said aliens uncontrolably sucks out the life of the entire galaxy, the protagonist sings at them so hard that the species learns that they can generate their own life energy by singing, then decide to move on to another dimension. | |

Most seasons only use music as incidental sound effects during transformations or special attacks, but Kamen Rider Kiva has a violin-playing protagonist, and one episode had him playing the mystically-created violin built by his father to force himself into shapeshifting.

Sirena: The mermaids are all the daughters of the god Eros, but Eros's lover Rhodope cursed them to be mortal unless they can get human men to love them. To make up for the curse, Mother Dora blessed them with magic voices that can instantly enchant men. Sirena sees it as a very mixed blessing. The first time she and her sisters try to seduce men, they instead commit an Accidental Murder of the crew of two ships. During Sirena's romance with Philoctetes, she regrets letting him hear her sing because she wants him to love her, not her voice. He eventually tells her that he realized he loved her before he heard her sing, and her voice had nothing to do with it. | |

In Nomine: Reality is esssentially a manifestation of "the Symphony", a sort of supernatural harmony created by God, which contains all of the themes and concepts that manifest as objects, actions and ideas in the lived world. The setting's "magic" consists of manipulating the Symphony in a couple of different ways. The most direct, used by angels and demons (and some special humans), are Songs, which are basically specific melodies which (when coupled with Essence expenditure) produce all sorts of special effects from healing to blowing stuff up. The less experienced have to actually vocalize the Song (and perform specific movements/gestures), while the more skilled can just invoke them mentally. The use of Songs creates "disturbances" in the Symphony which can be tracked down to their source (both the place and the person) by anyone with supernatural abilities who is close enough and perceptive enough to "hear" them. | |

Both non-numbered installments of the Rune Factory series involves Spirit Songs. In Frontier you can ask Candy to sing in order to manipulate the weather or create Rune Stones in exchange for some Runeys. In fact, Spirit Song was the reason Whale Island was able to stay in the sky. Tides of Destiny has Odette singing it to communicate with the Arch Dragon. It was used by the Big Bad to control shrine bosses and Dark Spirits, and later on, the protagonist has Odette and her sisters sing a variation of it in order to summon someone from the past. |

All over the place in My Bride is a Mermaid, as magic music is apparently a mermaid's greatest ability. There's a song that causes all listeners to engage in bloody combat, a song that acts as the main character's Theme Music Power-Up, a song that puts everyone to sleep, and a song that causes everyone within earshot to dance uncontrollably. There was also that incident when both Sun and Lunar were singing at the same time, which caused all humans present (except Nagasumi) to... well, we don't know, because every single person was covered under a wall of Censor buttons. |

Mother: The Eight Melodies (Queen Mary's Song) from EarthBound Beginnings is an interesting example of this trope. While you learn each melody from some really interesting places (including a singing cactus), the song itself is not magical. The real power of the song comes from the memories associated with it, which is why it only has an effect on Queen Mary and Giygas. At the start of EarthBound (1994), Buzz-Buzz gives Ness the Sound Stone and tasks him with journeying to the eight 'Your Sanctuary' locations, each of which conferring part of a song. In a similar vein to the prequel above, this song relates in some way to Ness' early childhood, and, with every melody gathered, Ness experiences a nostalgic sensation, such as the smell of his favourite food, or an image of his mother from when she was younger. When all of the melodies are recorded on the Sound Stone, Ness is whisked away to Magicant to face off against his Nightmare. |

It was obvious that Spirit Tracks would go with this Trope ever since it was revealed that the game's Japanese name was "Earth's Whistle". The "whistle" was revealed to be the Pan-flute like "Spirit Pipes", which are played by using the touchscreen and microphone in tandem. They work almost identically to magic instruments from earlier games. You also play duets with the Lokomo and Zelda with instruments such as bass, shamisen, flute, drums, and oboe, and to some extent... a pair of vocal cords. Which are held by Gage, Steem, Carben, Embrose, Rael, and Zelda, respectively. | |

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Magician's Nephew: Aslan creates Narnia with a magic song. This may have been inspired by Middle-Earth, as Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were good friends. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: Mr. Tumnus plays a tune on his flute that has an apparently magical effect on Lucy Pevensie: In the film from Disney/Walden Media, this literally puts her into an enchanted sleep, whereas the music's power is more psychological and ambiguous in the book; Lucy herself is not entirely sure what happened, only that a great deal of time seems to have passed. The Silver Chair: The Lady of the Green Kirtle uses magic music (and fire) to work her More than Mind Control. |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with the episode "Once More with Feeling". A musical demon causes life in the entire town to be a musical. Doesn't seem too bad, until it's revealed you uncontrollably spill your deepest secrets in songs sooner or later. And sooner or later, you will dance and sing yourself into a fiery death (the demon is stopped before more than a handful of Sunnydalians burn). Relatedly, the demon claims to have given a certain Roman emperor "his very first fiddle", thus also dovetailing with the trope. | |

Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues: Hyeon has the ability to converse with animals. As he discovers during one of his concerts, playing music amplifies his power, allowing him better control over animals in the area. This is one application of Ivan's power to manipulate real events via media. Theoretically, he could take a piece of music, re-arrange its tune, and in doing so change how the corresponding event plays out. |

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: Mr. Tumnus plays a tune on his flute that has an apparently magical effect on Lucy Pevensie: In the film from Disney/Walden Media, this literally puts her into an enchanted sleep, whereas the music's power is more psychological and ambiguous in the book; Lucy herself is not entirely sure what happened, only that a great deal of time seems to have passed. | |

Mario Party DS: The minigame Call of the Goomba has all players attempt to lure as many Goombas as possible by turning a crank to play the Super Mario Bros. Ground theme with an organ-like instrument. The exact speed and tempo the song has to be played at are shown at the start of the minigame (it can be slow, medium or fast). The more accurate a player's performance is, the more Goombas will be lured into them. Whoever has the largest Goomba crowd after 30 seconds wins, though it's possible for more than one character to win if the amount of Goombas is the same for them; however, if this happens with two players in Duel mode, the minigame ends in a tie. | |

Tales of the Abyss Mystearica "Tear" Grants uses this in six of her spells, the pieces of Yulia's Grand Fonic Hymn. It in and of itself is not used in combat, nor is the Seventh Hymn. They do provide Cutscene Power in the fight with Van though. Some magic is sound based in this game, namely the Seventh Fonon, the Fonon of Sound. Unlike the six other Fonons which are based on your typical Elemental Powers, the Seventh Fonon was created as a mutation of the other six in the Planet Storm combined with memory particles. The Seventh Fonon can be used for reading the Score, Healing Hands, Daathic Artes, and, you guessed it, Fonic Hymns. It's noted that most fonic hymns are actually weaker than other fonic artes. Yulia's Hymns are a sole exception as they are actually stronger than normal fonic artes. This is because the Grand Fonic Hymn is the "proof of pact" between Yulia and Lorelei. |

In Kingdom of Loathing, the Accordion Thief can play various songs that will provide buffs to themselves or other players—for example, "Ode to Booze" increases the adventures you get from drinking alcoholic beverages, "Fat Leon's Phat Loot Lyric" boosts item drops, and "Polka of Plenty" increases Meat drops. | |

Kingdom Hearts: In Kingdom Hearts II, Demyx (the Melodious Nocturne of Organization XIII) uses a blue sitar that's bigger than he is to summon water-clones. It also makes for a really effective club. There is also the Symphony Master from "Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep" that attacks by summoning a trumpet, a drum, and a violin and near blows Terra to Kingdom Come before the fight. |

The Eight Melodies (Queen Mary's Song) from EarthBound Beginnings is an interesting example of this trope. While you learn each melody from some really interesting places (including a singing cactus), the song itself is not magical. The real power of the song comes from the memories associated with it, which is why it only has an effect on Queen Mary and Giygas. | |

In the original, scrapped version of Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa dating from 2004, the Damage Typing system involved a wholly unique of weapons for each damage type. Spirit weapons involved dancing and music — one featured weapon, for example, rotated like a hula-hoop when not in use and transformed into a harp when attacking. | |

The Fighting Fantasy series of books have plenty of Minstrel characters who can play enchanted music: The Minstrel from Caverns of the Snow Witch is a neutral servant of the titular witch, and one of the non-Chaotic Evil inhabitants of Icefinger Mountains. If you try conversing with him, he'll demonstrate his powers by playing a healing song that brings up your Stamina. But if you try attacking him, he'll play a Mind Control song and turn you into his servant. City of Thieves (1983) has one of the few non-hostile residents of Port Blacksand, a musician who will play a "lucky" song for you at a small fee of 2 gold pieces. His music can bring up your luck stat. Spectral Stalkers has a Wandering Minstrel named Cerod living in one of the Ziggurat's many worlds, whose harp can talk can either curse or bless you. His magical music makes him a formidable threat to the hostile pig men living in his world. The player themselves becomes this in the Sorcery! series of books, where one of their spells can force enemies into an Involuntary Dance by playing a bamboo flute. There's also an optional encounter with a Snake Charmer in the third book, whose music can turn humans into snakes. |
