Lore:

Lyra's Lyrical Lineage Limiter was created by Lyra Nightingale, a renowned bard known for her wanderlust and passion for freedom. Lyra lived in an era when the expectations placed upon women often conflicted with their personal aspirations, particularly for those who pursued the life of a traveling performer.

Seeking a solution that would allow her and her peers to have control over their own bodies and destinies, Lyra developed this spell. It was a revolutionary creation at the time, empowering female bards to make choices about their lives that were previously dictated by societal norms and biological constraints.

The spell quickly gained popularity among female bards, who saw it as a means of asserting their independence and autonomy. Lyra's Lyrical Lineage Limiter is remembered as a significant contribution to the bardic tradition, symbolizing the freedom and agency that are central to the spirit of bardic life.
