Skald with a horn that can turn into an axe.

Grand Lodge 2/5

I would like to know if the following character concept is possible/legal in Society games:

Herald of the Horn Skald archetype gains horn as Arcane Bond item just like Wizard ability (MW Musical Instrument, I believe.)

Just like Wizard can craft his Bonded Item into a Magical Item, I guess Herald of the Horn can craft his MW Horn into a magical one, like Horn of Fog, Horn of Blasting, or in this case Horn of Battle Ready (like Lute of Battle Ready, from ACG, which can be fashioned as other instrument.)

And at Last, can that Horn of Battle Ready be given magic weapon special abilities or more enchantment bonus?

No. baring there being some horn of weapon tranformation that I'm not aware of, thats not just fluff you're trying to reflavor you're trying to trade a pretty weak magical item for the strongest one.

You are talkin about the last bit, right? Because everything else can be found from either Core Rule Book or Advanced Class Guide.

Lute of battle ready to horn of battle ready should be ok.

aaaand here's where it breaks down. The luteHorn of battle ready is a specific magic item. that only comes in +1. There's no +3 version, or +2 flaming keen version. It only exists as a +1 so you can only get it as a +1. You can't extrapolate its cost to other enchantments.

Scarab Sages

Price 2,000 gp; Slotnone; CL 3rd; Weight 3 lbs.; Aura faint transmutation
These magic items are usually crafted as lutes, though they can be fashioned as other instruments. On command three times per day, the lute can transform into a +1 spear, +1 longsword, or +1 battleaxe. The type of the weapon the instrument transforms into must be chosen at creation, and the weapon must be appropriately sized for the user of the instrument. The instrument takes weapon form for 1 minute, or until its wielder uses another command word to transform it back to its normal form.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Cost 1,000 gp
Craft Wondrous Item, shillelagh

You can use your bonded item to enchant the horn as a lute of the battle ready, because it specifically states it can be applied to other instruments. Your horn can then transform into a +1 spear, +1 longsword, or +1 battleaxe per the item. It cannot be further enchanted.

Thank You for oyur opinion.

My Skald uses a bow and arrow that she plays like a harp, strung with one of these.
