Bugs

 * After returning the flute to Pantea and completing the quest, the flute will still be in your misc. inventory. You will be unable to remove it since it is tagged as a quest item. However, as a quest item, its weight will not count towards your carrying capacity.
 * PC players can remove the flute using the console and the following console command: player.removeitem 000DABA7 1
 * PC players can drop the flute by using the console command "player.drop 000DABA7 1" Pantea's Flute should fall at your feet. You will then be able to pick it up and the quest will update correctly.
 * If found and collected before quest is given, you will be unable to accomplish the quest. This may be possible to fix by getting arrested (and jailed) after being given the quest (which removes then restores the item), then returning to Pantea. (PS3)
 * On PC, it is possible to complete the quest if the flute was obtained before speaking to Pantea about it, without using the setstage command. Use the above console command to drop the flute, speak to Pantea to initiate the quest, pick the flute back up and speak to her again. The quest will complete and you will recieve the excellent reward of one FREE increase in all magic skills. Manual removal of the flute via console command post-quest is still required.
