I'm just going to use this to pile my research and then synthesize it into something to build my lore off of.

Bardic magic is a highly specialized form of magic. The bard is often looked at as an individual who is the jack of all trades and master of none, and seemingly their magic follows this principle. In a manner that neither mage nor scholar fully understands, bards are able to draw forth magical energy by using music as their focal point. Some bards can produce magical effect by song whereas others utilize instruments or even a mixture of the two.

Stoked to see where this goes.  I've used bard-ish stuff for a couple of characters, but nothing systematized at all.

I'm thinking of having it be an apprenticing type system, so you have Master Bards and Apprentice Bards. They congregate in a certain type of tavern, not sure if I want it to be something official or happenstance, but these taverns are usually the largest in an area and have a large common room with a special area for minstrels/bards.
I'm thinking of having the source of their magic be Muses, ala ancient Greece. Not defined with separate personalities, just generally The Muses.

Valdyna - That soudns pretty solid. Even if I don't end up writing a bard, I'd love to use a place like that as background or a setting.
