 ===Playing a Song===
 Playing a song is practically the same as casting a spell, but with three differences:
-* Playing a song always costs 1 stamina point, regardless of its point value.
+* Playing a song other than a cantrip always costs 1 stamina point, regardless of the spell's normal point value.
-* To play a song, you must use both of your hands to play music using a [[musical instrument]] with which you are proficient. The music must be at a clear and audible volume, and if played at a diminished volume there will be no effect to the spell.  If you are unable to produce sound or music, you cannot play a song.

The music must be at a clear and audible volume, and if played at a significantly diminished volume there will be no effect to the spell.  If you are unable to produce sound or music, you cannot play a song.
 * To maintain [[concentration]] on a song, you must continuously play music using both hands.  If you use your hands for anything other than playing a song, your concentration ends immediately.  You cannot make any attack roll while maintaining concentration on a song, unless it is a spell attack roll caused by a song or an [[improvised weapon|improvised weapon attack]].  You can vocally communicate while maintaining concentration on a song, for example, as this does not use your hands.
 ===Overpowering a Song===
