A Bard's Song of Mirrors spellsong creates an illusion of multiples images of the Bard in the room. This illusion makes it so that the Bard is much harder to hit by providing the equivalent of +20 Dodge ranks to the Bard. Further training in the Bard Base spell list provides another +1 Dodge rank for every 2 spellsongs known above 1019.

The increased bonus also means that there is an increased mana cost. The base mana cost is 19, with an additional +1 for every 5 Bard spellsongs known above 1019.

Renewal Cost

8 MP, +1 for every 10 spellsongs known above 1019.

Messaging

Initial singing:

As you begin to sing a sibilant melody, shimmering mirror images of you appear in the area.

This is one of the few songs that add a message to renewals (whether automatic or manually triggered):

The mirror images surrounding you undulate and grow stronger.

Song ending (first / third):

The mirror images surrounding you undulate and fade away.

The mirror images of an athletic dark-eyed incubus undulate and fade away.
