For example, could a wizard that picked a quarterstaff as their bonded item replace it with a ring or an amulet at a later time?
The RAW doesn't seem to mention one way or the other, so I was wondering if this has come up before and if it has been answered in any 'official' capacity.

Objects that are the subject of an arcane bond must fall into one of the following categories: amulet, ring, staff, wand, or weapon.

[...]
If the object of an arcane bond is lost or destroyed, it can be replaced after 1 week in a special ritual that costs 200 gp per wizard level plus the cost of the masterwork item. This ritual takes 8 hours to complete. Items replaced in this way do not possess any of the additional enchantments of the previous bonded item.

A wizard can designate an existing magic item as his bonded item. This functions in the same way as replacing a lost or destroyed item except that the new magic item retains its abilities while gaining the benefits and drawbacks of becoming a bonded item.

In times of stress or unease, you speak in tongues. Pick one of the following languages: Abyssal, Aklo, Aquan, Auran, Celestial, Ignan, Infernal, or Terran. Whenever you are in combat, you can only speak and understand the selected language. This does not interfere with spellcasting, but it does apply to spells that are language dependent. You gain the selected language as a bonus language. At 5th level, pick an additional language to speak in combat and add it to your list of known languages. At 10th level, you can understand any spoken language, as if under the effects of tongues, even during combat. At 15th level, you can speak and understand any language, but your speech is still restricted during combat.

When a character takes their first level of Oracle and chooses the Tongues Curse, can they pick a language they already know, for example an Aasimar picking Celestial?

The argument I see against this would be something like 'You cannot gain a language as a bonus language if you already know it.'

If not, does that mean a character who already knows all of these langauges (via ranks in Linguistics, etc.) is unable to choose the Tongues Curse?

So, let's say the player characters find a corpse and successfully figure out that it has been tampered with via the spell Sculpt Corpse.
Now, they want to know whose corpse it actually is.

1) Since the duration on Sculpt Corpse is 'instantaneous' and not 'permanent', it is not an 'ongoing spell' that could be targeted by Dispel Magic, right?

2) Restore Corpse has 'corpse touched' as its target, but in the description it specifies that the corpse has to be 'decomposed or skeletonized'. Would the spell still be able to restore the corpse, as in, to its original appearance, even if neither the original nor the current appearance are 'decomposed or skeletonized'?

3) In case Restore Corpse fails because of the 'decomposed or skeletonized' part, could you circumvent that by casting
Decompose Corpse, then Restore Corpse?

The components for the spell 'Heroe's Feast' are listed as: V, S, DF.
The spell can be cast by Bards and Clerics.
Now, for a Cleric, the Divine Focus Component makes perfect sense, but if my Bard wanted to cast that spell, would they need a Divine Focus too?
