Spellsinging

I have considered a similar system for my [[Sildaryn (culture)}Sildaryn]]. Their dalfyn (druids/shamans) use 'spell singing' to commune with spirits and bring about change. All living things (plants and animals) contain a spirit which can be sang to. Some ancient wisdom suggests that some inanimate things may have spirits as well (rocks, rivers, clouds, etc). The challenge is convincing a spirit to teach / share its songs, so that the Dalfyn can utilize them in the future. One dalfyn may teach another the songs he has learned, but directly learning from the spirits is ideal, and considered a more pure use of the art. Song's can achieve just about any effect. The results are mostly subtle, sometimes dramatic, but not outside the bounds of what is potentially possible without magic. Examples might include:

• A more bountiful harvest, less insect damage to crops, larger, healthier plants
• Predatory animals avoid the dalfyn and those under his care * Fish are attracted to particular area, allowing a larger catch * A frightened animal calms in the presence of the dalfyn allowing injuries to be treated * A storm shifts its track enough to dissipate its fury away from the hinta (village) * A Sildaryn's mental illness symptoms abate to manageable levels * Wounds stop bleeding sooner, and seem rersistant to infection * Labour pains are eased during childbirth

The Sildaryn people are all about living in harmony with the natural environment, so even their magic leaves few traces. It's subtle enough to leave an outside witnesses wondering if anything was even done. Of course since this is so strongly tied into the Sildaryn spiritual beliefs and philosophy they don't see it as coincidence.
