    I've spoken to a few mods, and their responses implied that I could use the Treasure Creation subforum to make additions to existing treasures. So, here's one of the two latest in my mini-series of Music Treasures:

    Name: N/A, as this is an upgrade to an existing treasure.
    P/W/C Type: Courage
    Appearance: N/A.
    Description of Function: Allows Music Specialists to choose the weather effect when using the Song of Storms. Options include blizzards, thunderstorms, rainstorms, strong winds, and anything else the mods allow for.
    Limitations: Requires the Song of Storms and a Specialty [Music]. The weather effect will never be much stronger than the original storm conjured up by the basic version.

    Description Suggestion (open)
    [Song of Storms here]

    If the user has Specialty [Music]: The user can determine what kind of storm to summon, such as blizzards, thunderstorms or cyclones.

    I'm not sure; are you wanting to edit this into the description, or do you want to make a new add-on treasure?

    Oh, also, I'm going to be posting this in the other [addition] one; it's not because I've gotten amnesia, it's to keep what applies where it applies to.

    It's an edit into the original treasure, much like the 'if the fire spell, din's burst spell, or fire rod is held by the user' part of the Cane of Somaria (I think).

    I like this idea, but I think I have one small caveat for it. While the spell is magical by nature, given that this is just a small boon to the spell and not another treasure entirely, I would want to restrict this to storms permitted by area.

    For example, the Song of Storms would usually summon a thunderstorm, even in a place like the Tantari Desert. However, with this restriction you could choose to summon a sandstorm in the area as well, but not a blizzard. The reverse would be applied to, say, Snowhead. For the most part, I don't think you'd be really restricted by the area, but it would negate being able to spawn a blizzard on Crescent Island and kill every single cold-blooded creature there, for example.

    That makes sense. Blizzards in the desert is stuff for drunk weather gods, not for mere PCs. How should I add that to the description?

    Kind of a tricky one there. Would this work for you?

    If the user has Specialty [Music]: The user can determine what kind of storm to summon, such as a blizzard, thunderstorm, or cyclone so long as it fits the biome in one of the four seasons. (For example, a blizzard could be summoned in Hyrule Castle-Town but not a sandstorm.)

    BIOME. I was gonna use ecosystem but that didn't quite fit. Stupid non-native speakers.

    Yeah, that description works for me just fine.

    Hmm. I figured "climate" would be the better word but I suppose biome works too.
