The Golden Horn of Griffo is finely wrought, " Zenodotus said, tracing his finger along the curve of Telemach's treasure. "And the magic is in its making alone. Do you understand? There is no sorcery here.."“ Magic is not the only power in this world, ” the old mage said gently, handing the horn back to its royal owner. “Griffo made an instrument so perfect that even the dead must rise to hear its call. He made it with his hands, without spells or dragon-songs. I wish that I could do the same. Robin Sloan

The Golden Horn of Griffo is finely wrought." Zenodotus said, tracing his finger along the curve of Telemach's treasure. "And the magic is in its making alone. Do you understand? There is no sorcery here.” The old mage has stated that the power behind the horn is in it's making, without use of sorcery or dragon songs. He also states that it doesn't use magic because magic isn't the only power in this world, adding that there are other powers at work here.
