Bard

Bards are traveling minstrels who are such adept singers that they can weave magic into their song. In addition, most bards have learned some parlor tricks from mages for use in those times when the crowd turns ugly. Both singing and casting spells burn up a bard's mana.

Warning! Women have been known to run off with bards, so keep a close eye o­n your wives and daughters.
