A nymph can choose an intelligent creature to inspire and serve as a muse by giving Inspirations that creature some token of her affection (typically a lock of her hair). As long as the nymph retains her favor for this creature and as long as the creature carries the nymph's token, the creature gains +4 bonus on all Wisdom saving throws, and checks to craft or perform. A bard who has a nymph for a muse in this way can use his bardic performance for an additional 8 rounds per day. The nymph retains a link to her token and its carrier as if she had cast a status spell on the carrier. The nymph can end this effect at any time as a free action. A single nymph may only inspire one creature at a time in this manner.
