Bards are those lucky few who have drunk from the sap of the world tree- and been initiated into the sacred order that advises rulers across Vandra. With this comes a number of powers, the most notable of which is their ability to hear the Heartbeats of the world - rhythms chained to emotions, sensations, and gods - and to create Melodies, invested songs that draw on the power of the world and other nearby to create various invested effects.
Bards, so long as they have a way to make music, can create Melodies at will, at various strengths due to the available investiture, volume, and intent. These are the first known, and the second list comprises those that are unknown.
