Manual: a guide to adaptation of circumstances
Duration: Immediate
After years of practice, Jacinto has mastered the art of casting spells while
playing his instrument non-stop. While he was tempted to keep this secret
to himself, he has decided to share it with other bard pupils. Adaptation to
circumstances has always been the key to survival, inside this book, one will
learn an ancient secret which allows a player to adapt their instrumental
playstyle and incorporate their ability to cast at the very same time.
