Bardic Magic?

[Tywyll]

Has anyone ever come up with a system for 'Bardic' style magic? Involving music and possibly instruments for spell casting?

I have not come up with anything specific yet, but in the Steel and Gunstones world I had a group of traveling entertainers called sight weavers. They were basically bards or storytellers that used magical light shows and eventually illusions to enhance their storytelling abilities. Through time their illusionary and emotion adjusting abilities became a magic school in its own right. Since many sightweavers hung around theaters in seedy areas of town or traveled from village to village performing, they were alway a little suspected although often popular if there stories were good. Do to the criminal possibilities of the art, sightweavers were legally bound to wear a broach in public to denote their status. Even so sightweavers tended to be rogue or underworld type characters.
