College of Law

Bards of the College of Law have mastered the balance between their two studies; perfectly blending their Law practices into their Bardic spell-crafts. The harrowing experience of judicial education has only strengthened your connection to your desired art-form and the magic that it fuels. Bards with this subclass have a much more structured understanding of their arcane abilities and can utilise their spell casting for more practical applications.
