The Sword of Music is a stage in The Masked Carnivale for Blue Mage, introduced in patch 4.5 with Stormblood.
Act 1
Enemies
Right Claw
- Endurance: Average
- Strengths: --
- Weaknesses: Thunder
- Vulnerabilities: All status effects, except Interrupt
Left Claw
- Endurance: Average
- Strengths: --
- Weaknesses: Thunder
- Vulnerabilities: All status effects, except Interrupt
Strategy
Use magical attacks on Right Claw. Use physical attacks on Left Claw.
- Try to use single-target spells such as
Sonic Boom and 
Sharpened Knife to ensure only the targeted hand is hit. - Hitting the wrong hand reflects about half of the player's HP in damage - so if using AoEs, be prepared to cast
White Wind between attacks.
Act 2
Enemies
Kreios
- Endurance: Above Average
- Strengths: --
- Weaknesses: Thunder
- Vulnerabilities: Slow, Petrification, Paralyze, Interrupt, Blind
Strategy
Spawns a Right Claw and Left Claw at around 50% HP. Use magical attacks on Right Claw. Use physical attacks on Left Claw.
- Using
The Ram's Voice and 
Ultravibration combo will work on the boss and skip the Claws. Otherwise, whittle away at the boss while keeping note of the Right and Left Claw spawns and dealing with them with the appropriate physical/magical attacks. - The boss's Grand Strike line AoEs come out fast and in sets of 3. Be prepared to sidestep quickly.
