Starting at 1st level, any time during combat that the bard is maintaining a performance stance (including surprise rounds), a bard may magically strike at his enemies with illusory shadows of his performance as a standard action, in addition to the effects of the [[Types_of_Actions#Stances|Stance]]. The range of the attack is Close (25 ft + 5 ft/two levels (round down)) and it is a ranged touch attack that follows all the rules of [http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic#TOC-Aiming-a-Spell ray attacks].

As a ranged touch attack, Harmony may be boosted if the Bard has an Implement in their hand when the ability is used.  If their Implement is also their Instrument, this usage does not interrupt their performance.

Harmony is a mind-affecting ability, though the bard need not share a language with the target.  Harmony is a spell-like ability that provokes AOO's unless a concentration check is made to combat-cast.  Harmony is treated as though it belongs to the illusion school of spells, even though it is not a spell, for purposes of feats like [[Spell Focus]]. Harmony is also subject to Spell Resistance if the targeted creature(s) have it.
