Collage of Corruption

Each soul and each living creature has a melody of their own. Bards of the Collage of Corruption learn to hear and manipulate these melodies to great effect.

They cause fear in the hearts of their enemies and shorten lives while playing a happy song about true love.

Songs of Corruption

Song of Lifestealing

Your song drains vitality from one target within 30 ft. of you, that can hear you. The Target takes 1d6 necrotic damage every turn as long as it stays within range and can hear you. You can choose one ally within your range and transfer vitality to them. They heal 1d4+ your charisma modifier.

The Song requires concentration and can last up to 10 minutes.
