The lives-work of a Fiend that traveled across planes to record novel and important events. This tome is filled with stories written to educate and entertain the masses. However, for those with the raw talent of a true bard these stories hold an entirely different meaning. Bards are the performers of tragedies, spreaders of myths and collectors of fables. By understanding and recognizing the weals and woes of the tales contained in this book, a Bard can uncover and unlock the arcane potential hidden among the words.
Every story in this book holds a spell. By reading, understanding and performing the stories, a Bard is able to add some of these spells to their repertoire. Starting at 7th-level, you can start uncovering the secrets of 5 different stories, this is done by spending 8 hours reading the story, ending your reading session by performing the story to an audience. (You can tell before you start reading a story if the spell is too high level for you or if you can already cast the spell) Every time you learn the secrets of a story, the corresponding spell gets added to your repertoire. You can prepare two spells from your repertoire at the end of a long rest, increasing at 11th, 16th and 19th level. Any cantrips that are discovered do not count towards your spells prepared and are always available. These spells are considered Bard spells for you. Each time you gain a level you can choose one additional story to uncover the secrets of, expanding the number of spells in your repertoire.
