This one completely blindsided me, so I need some advice on this one.

We've decided that it obviously has more in common with the shaman style of play than the mage, and we have decided that it has a shamanic mask of sorts in the form of music that seems to play in the background when the mask is manifest.

Charisma is the main stat (for obvious reasons,) and it works off of the 'music of the spheres', the drain is caused by them working their 'music' in this grand celestial symphony.

Spirits is where we broke down. We felt that the spirits were based upon 'the five natures of music' but we could not agree as to what spirit went with what magical association with what type of music. Now, I could pull rank as GM, but I'm not so sure myself.

Here is what we were looking at:
My Opinion
Classic/Blues:-------Healing
Rock:----------------Detection
Alternative:---------Illusion
Punk:----------------Combat
Rap:-----------------Manipulation


The Player's Opinion
Classic:-------------Healing
Rock/Punk:---------Detection
Rap/Scat:-----------Combat
Blues:---------------Manipulation
Pop:-----------------Illusion

We didn't even get to the spirit types. Feel free to post your own opinions/thoughts.
