Voicecraft was the skill centred on using the voice, with or without instrumental accompaniment, to create various effects to aid oneself or those they wish to favour, or to afflict enemies. Chanting, singing, or reciting one's way to fame and glory as one shattered crystal forests, singing down shields, protecting oneself from damage, or freeing oneself from various forms of binding - all through the former power of Voicecraft. A unique feature of Voicecraft abilities was that they did not use or require one to have normal equilibrium or balance. They worked on their own kind of balance called "voice balance."
The skill of Voicecraft was available to members of the Bard class, along with Swashbuckling and Harmonics until they were replaced with a more refined skillset.
