Revision as of 03:33, 12 August 2018

Voicecraft is the skill centred on using the voice, with or without instrumental accompaniment, to create various effects to aid yourself or those you wish to favour, or to afflict your enemies.

Chant, sing, or recite your way to fame and glory as you shatter crystal forests, sing down shields, protect yourself from damage, or free yourself from various forms of binding - all through the power of Voicecraft.

A unique feature of Voicecraft abilities is that they do not use or require you to have normal equilibrium or balance. They work on their own kind of balance called "voice balance."

The Voicecraft skill is available to members of the Bard class, along with Swashbuckling and Harmonics.
