These spells are only usable by Bard characters. Some of the following spells may remain in effect while the bard continues to produce the music. When a spell permits this, the maximum duration will be listed in the description of the spell. While maintained, a spell may be broken at any time by simply stopping the song. The spell may also be broken if the bard is hit, fails a saving throw, or moves more than half speed. Each spell requires two rounds to cast and takes effect in the magic phase. Spells are not memorized. Instead, they are cast as if all Bard Musicall Spells have been memorized. Radius effects are centered on the bard and the bard is never affected by his spells unless he wishes to be. When a spell permits a saving throw, the victim's saving throw is penalized by -1 per every 4 experience levels that the Bard has attained (ex: -1 at 4th level, -2 at 8th level, etc.)
