I think my favorite part of this book is the Magic Trick feats, though. Weaponizing the Daylight spell is something I have ALWAYS wanted. This gets that started in a big way!

<p>With respect to Legato Piece of the Infernal Bargain, is Paizo really concluding the bargain ends once it is fulfilled by the ally or the bard starts another Bardic Performance? That is just nonsense. The duration on Planar Ally is instantaneous. </p>
<p></blockquote><p>Legato of Infernal Bargain does work like Planar Ally instead of a Masterpiece or Performance because it says it does.
</p>
Arrowsong's Lament (gives access to other spell lists, like you mentioned) does make up a little for the Bard not getting Spell Kenning (for some inexplicable reason. Grrrr). My fave spell to grab with that is Burst of Radiance, makes for great pyrotechnics for the concert you give your foes!

He stated in the thread we were discussing the archetype, that WeirdWords are rays and therefore subject to the weapon feats such as Point Blank Shot and Precise Shot. Hence, if counted as a weapon for those, why not Discordant Voice? Why should that be an exception?</p>
