I had an idea along these lines I posted here once. Say a bard picks an
instrument that is their specialty. Then using it would have an increased
effect (for certain songs), and actually drain mana if one specialized in
that instrument type. Once the mana was gone, the effects would be similar
to non-specialized play.
