Spellsinger

Spellsingers are rare practitioners of an ancient elven bardic tradition. Like bards, spellsingers work magic with song and poetics, but, whereas bards draw on the Weave through singing and poetry, spellsingers are truly part of the Weave. As such, spellsingers can work magic through music with greater effect and flexibility than other bards.

Spellsingers were almost always bards (or multi-classed bards, particularly wizard/bard). They were usually elves living in elven homelands, but there were a few half-elven spellsingers and at least one human (Danilo Thann) with distant elven heritage. Spellsingers had the ability to be a part of the Weave, as opposed to bards alone, who accessed the Weave through their music and poetry. In that way, spellsingers were much more flexible than bards and could become more powerful.

Bonus Proficiencies

As a Spellsinger at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with three skills of your choice.

Spellsong

Spellsingers can temporarily "lose" a known arcane spell in order to cast any arcane enchantment spell of one or more levels lower that is on their spell list. All spellsongs require verbal (singing) and/or somatic (playing an instrument) components. These components replace the spell's normal verbal, somatic, material, and focus components.

Additional Magical Secrets

At 6th level, you learn two spells of your choice from any class. A spell you choose must be of a level you can cast, as shown on the Bard table, or a cantrip. The chosen spells count as bard spells for you but don’t count against the number of bard spells you know.

Improved Spellsong

At 14th level, a Spellsinger can now cast arcane enchantment spells of the same level as the known spell "lost" instead of one level lower.
