+#####R=== Bards ===
+
+#####GDescription
+Bards are traditional musicians. Their magical attacks are sound-based, and
+last as long as the Bard has mana. If the Bard runs out of mana, he/she stops
+singing. There is also a low-level "spell" that will cease the song.
+
+While any class can use musical instruments, only Bards can tap the
+power of voice to aid themselves and hinder, dismay, and kill their
+foes.
+
+#####GMagic Usage
+
+Songs are continuous, and the song consumes mana every turn in order to
+maintain itself. The song will continue, once played, until either the 'Stop
+Singing' song is sung, or the player's mana runs out.
+
+Each song has a magic school level associated with, just as any other magic
+spell does. Each song also has a Roman numeral (e.g. I, II, III, IV, V)
+following its name. These numerals correspond to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The higher the
+numeral, the more music skill the Bard must have to play that song.
+
+Each musical instrument has a value between 1 and 4 assigned to it, as well.
+The higher the number, the better the craftmanship. A Bard can only play
+higher level songs with a more powerful instrument. You would be able to cast
+"Stop Singing (I)" and "Song of the Sun (I)" with a a Harp (+1). A Harp (+2)
+would allow you to sing those songs, as well as "Flow of Life (II)".
+
+For information on song effects see the *****m_music.txt*0[Music Songs] file.
