The ability to cast ‘spellsongs’, bard mastery, is achieved by performing one of three quests given by Sir Berran the Song Wielder, Sir Hareus the Battle Rouser or Sir Falean the Spirit Soother. They are found in the Conservatory of Music in Britain (both facets). Caution, only one ‘mastery’ can be held at any time. Mastering a second ‘song’ negates the first mastery.

This need for co-operative effort is one of the features which sets Spellweaving apart from other spellcasting schools.  An Arcanist having the Spellweaving Mastery active is able to cast a lesser focus alone. The first difference you will encounter is the inability to select spellweaving as a starting […]
