The rarest of all strings, save perhaps nymph hair, these strings are made of the tightly-woven hair of angels. When strung on an instrument and played, these strings produce notes of crisp, clear, complex harmonies even in the hands of the most unremarkable musicians. Master bards who play an instrument strung with Deva hair can produce music of such unearthly beauty that they can keep an audience captivated for hours, even days. An instrument equipped with Deva hair strings grants the bard playing it a +1 bonus on all Perform skill checks. Additionally, if the instrument is equipped solely with strings of Deva hair, the bard can use the power of good inherent in the strings to protect himself and his fellows from evil creatures. With a successful Perform skill check (DC 25), the bard is able to emulate the effects of a protection from evil spell in a ten-foot radius around himself. This effect lasts as long as the bard continues playing, but is cancelled the moment he ceases.
