Bardmancy is a type of magic under the Housemagery umbrella that is focused on enhancing artistic expression. Just like Housemagery, this magic is non-voidal, non-deity and requires no pacts. Knowledge of Housemagery is not required to learn Bardmancy.

Bardmancy accommodates most forms of art and uses an artist’s ‘performance’ as its catalyst. Arts are divided into 4 types: Aesthetic, Movement, Sound and Word. Spells are divided into Basic, Advanced and Master types. There is no casting limit for all except Master spells, though casting too many spells before rest can cause some unwanted side effects.

History

Bardmancy was a niche tradition between the Velulites, a secluded Mali'ker group that only became more active after some family leaders opted to share their culture with the world. The magic's expansion was spear-headed by the sisters Inny and Kini Yuln'aher. They began around 1856 A.M. and later founded the Vailu Valmiran, or Bard's College, to further spread their knowledge.
