Spellsong (Feat)

You can blend the power of your performance and spellcasting.

Prerequisites: Cha 13, bardic performance class ability, able to cast 1st-level spells

Benefit: Once per round, you can conceal the activity of casting a bard spell by masking it in a performance. As a full round action, you may combine casting of a spell with initiating your Bardic Performance stance. Observers must make a Perception or Sense Motive check opposed by your Perform check to realize you are also casting a spell. The spell is cast in this action regardless of the normal casting time.

Note: At 7th level, combining a spell with a Bardic Performance (now a move action to initiate) casts the spell and initiates the song as a standard action.

Special: Bards with this feat may use it in place of the Silent Spell (Feat) for purposes of prerequisites, though Spellsong does not provide the effects of Silent Spell.
