Song of Sonic Disruption allows the Bard to modify his or her voice to sing with such power that all not joined to the singer must pass a warding check or suffer bodily harm from the intense vibrations.

The base cost of this spellsong is 30MP, with a 20MP manual renewal cost. During each renewal, all not joined to the singer, player character and creature alike, must ward the reverberating power of the song or suffer vibration injuries.

Note: This spellsong is made more powerful when used in conjunction with playing an instrument.

Lore Benefit

  • Mental Lore, Manipulation: Once 15 ranks are achieved then the Bard is able to sing a focused version of the spell on a single creature, and only costing half the mana cost (15 for the initial cast, 10 for each renewal).
  • Additional training in this lore makes it possible to gain the benefits that are normally restricted to singing it along with playing an instrument.
  • Once 60 ranks are achieved, the Bard will be able to sing the multi-target version of the spellsong as if it was accompanied with playing a two-hand instrument that the Bard has mastered.
  • At 75 ranks, the single-target version is at the power of a Bard accompanied by a mastered two-handed instrument. (The first 15 ranks give the ability to single-target, so the ranks available to contribute additional damage always lag behind by 15.)
  • A Bard who has 60 ranks (or 75 ranks when casting at a single target) gains NO additional benefit by playing an instrument. Phrased the opposite direction, a Bard who uses a (Mastered) instrument has no need for any ranks of Mental Lore, Manipulation skill (other than the 15 ranks to enable single-target capability).
The two bonuses are additive only to a maximum equivalent to mastery of a two-hand instrument.
