While singing this song, a [[Bard]] can weave vibrating air and magic, similar to [[Sonic Shield Song (1009)|Sonic Shield]] and [[Sonic Weapon Song (1012)|Sonic Weapon]]. The difference is that this spellsong forms a sonic barrier around the singer, effectively acting as magical [[armor]]. The base armor bonus is +15. For every two Bard spellsongs known, a bonus of +1 is added to the base armor bonus, for a maximum bonus of +35. For example, a [[level]] 20 Bard that knows 15 Bard spellsongs would sing song armor with a bonus of +23. |

While singing this song, a Bard can weave vibrating air and magic, similar to Sonic Shield and Sonic Weapon. The difference is that this spellsong forms a sonic barrier around the singer, effectively acting as magical armor. The base armor bonus is +15. For every two Bard spellsongs known, a bonus of +1 is added to the base armor bonus, for a maximum bonus of +35. For example, a level 20 Bard that knows 15 Bard spellsongs would sing song armor with a bonus of +23.
In addition, Sonic Armor provides resistance to heat, cold, and electrical attack, and is slightly susceptible to impact attacks. The susceptibility to impact attacks will not change as the Bard gains levels, but the heat, cold, and electrical resistance will improve as the Bard learns more spellsongs. Like real armor, use of Sonic Armor is dependent upon the Bard's Armor Use skill.
While Sonic Weapons weigh 1/10 of a pound (16 coins), Sonic Armor weighs 25% (truncated) of the standard armor weight (e.g., Sonic Augmented Chain weighs 6 pounds). As armor, though, the reduction in weight compared to the normal weight of the ASG is subtracted from your carried weight, meaning that sonic armor actually lowers your encumbrance. Heavier ASG's have a greater effect.
The singer can specify the Armor Sub-Group (ASG) when casting by typing SING <desired ASG>. If unspecified, the song will default to Full Leather (6).
The strength of sonic armor is 1. The base durability of sonic armor is 210 + 1/2 the character's level.
