Harmonics | '''Harmonics''' embodied all that was beautiful in music, from voice and instrument, brought together. Bestowed by [[Scarlatti]] in 350 AF, harmonic progressions were practised by Bards until the skill was retired in 948 AF. | ||
Using the skill a bard could speed their allies, restore their [[health (statistic)|health]], and protect them from damage. Accomplished practitioners of this art could create multiple harmonics in one place, send them to other locations, or call them back with a word. Harmonics generally required use of one of the five [[bardic instruments]] - flute, lute, lyre, mandolin, and harp. For the more advanced effects, specialisation had to be undertaken. Specialisation could be removed but this was a costly act. | |||
The '''Harmonics''' | The skill of '''Harmonics''' was available to members of the [[Bard]] [[class]], along with [[Voicecraft]] and [[Swashbuckling]]. It might be said that the bardoc skill [[Composition]] is an evolution or refinement of the harmonic tradition. | ||

|detail=Use of the Aeternam permits the bard to 'store' up to twenty harmonics, no more than two of any kind, in the Place of Eternal Song (also called POES). Each attempt to store another harmonic in the POES has a limited chance to succeed, so many attempts may be required. Not every harmonic may be stored in the POES. The knowledge of which are storable, and which are not, is for the bard to discover.< | |detail=Use of the Aeternam permits the bard to 'store' up to twenty harmonics, no more than two of any kind, in the Place of Eternal Song (also called POES).
