Bardic Magic

Bardic Magic is different then most other schools of magic. If you go into this field of magic you can know no other forms of magic, not even beginner magic. However Bardic Magic has a bit of a mix of most other magics in it with stat alterations, healing and even mana regeneration, an ability most schools do not.

Bardic Magic can affect more people at a time then most other spells, but the catch is the song or dance must be continuously played for the effect to be maintained. As such they generally are not able to fight while using this magic. In addition, if they are knocked off their feet or otherwise interrupted from singing or dancing, the magic ends. Lastly, most Bardic Magic cannot affect themselves with it.

Bards can choose to specialize in songs that help their allies, or hinder their enemies. While they can learn both, the specialization they choose means they need rolls 5 lower of their chosen side, and 5 higher of the opposite side. Certain spells are neutral. In addition, bards also can recover their magical ability through the Cosmic Beat when they are not performing. They gain 1 MP per round times the maximum circle they know at least two songs in. ( If they know 3 circle two songs, they regen 2 MP a round when not performing.)
