- "desc": "You have learned to cast spells through your bardic arts. See \"Spells\" for the rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules with Bard spells, which appear in the Bard spell list later in the class's description.\n\n**Cantrips.** You know two cantrips of your choice from the Bard spell list. *Dancing Lights* and *Vicious Mockery* are recommended.\n\nWhenever you gain a Bard level, you can replace one of your cantrips with another cantrip of your choice from the Bard spell list.\n\nWhen you reach Bard levels 4 and 10, you learn another cantrip of your choice from the Bard spell list, as shown in the Cantrips column of the Bard Features table.\n\n**Spell Slots.** The Bard Features table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your level 1+ spells. You regain all expended slots when you finish a Long Rest.\n\n**Prepared Spells of Level 1+.** You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature. To start, choose four level 1 spells from the Bard spell list. *Charm Person*, *Color Spray*, *Dissonant Whispers*, and *Healing Word* are recommended.\n\nThe number of spells on your list increases as you gain Bard levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Bard Features table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional spells from the Bard spell list until the number of spells on your list matches the number on the table. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you're a level 3 Bard, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of levels 1 and 2 in any combination.\n\nIf another Bard feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don't count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Bard spells for you.\n\n**Changing Your Prepared Spells.** Whenever you gain a Bard level, you can replace one spell on your list with another Bard spell for which you have spell slots.\n\n**Spellcasting Ability.** Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Bard spells.\n\n**Spellcasting Focus.** You can use a Musical Instrument as a Spellcasting Focus for your Bard spells.\n\n|Spell|School|Special|\n|---|---|---|\n|**Cantrips (Level 0)**||| \n|Dancing Lights|Illusion|C|\n|Light|Evocation|—|\n|Mage Hand|Conjuration|—|\n|Mending|Transmutation|—|\n|Message|Transmutation|—|\n|Minor Illusion|Illusion|—|\n|Prestidigitation|Transmutation|—|\n|Starry Wisp|Evocation|—|\n|True Strike|Divination|—|\n|Vicious Mockery|Enchantment|—|\n|**Level 1**||| \n|Animal Friendship|Enchantment|—|\n|Bane|Enchantment|C|\n|Charm Person|Enchantment|—|\n|Color Spray|Illusion|—|\n|Command|Enchantment|—|\n|Comprehend Languages|Divination|R|\n|Cure Wounds|Abjuration|—|\n|Detect Magic|Divination|C, R|\n|Disguise Self|Illusion|—|\n|Dissonant Whispers|Enchantment|—|\n|Faerie Fire|Evocation|C|\n|Feather Fall|Transmutation|—|\n|Healing Word|Abjuration|—|\n|Heroism|Enchantment|C|\n|Hideous Laughter|Enchantment|C|\n|Identify|Divination|R, M|\n|Illusory Script|Illusion|R, M|\n|Longstrider|Transmutation|—|\n|Silent Image|Illusion|C|\n|Sleep|Enchantment|C|\n|Speak with Animals|Divination|R|\n|Thunderwave|Evocation|—|\n|Unseen Servant|Conjuration|R|\n|**Level 2**||| \n|Aid|Abjuration|—|\n|Animal Messenger|Enchantment|R|\n|Blindness/Deafness|Transmutation|—|\n|Calm Emotions|Enchantment|C|\n|Detect Thoughts|Divination|C|\n|Enhance Ability|Transmutation|C|\n|Enlarge/Reduce|Transmutation|C|\n|Enthrall|Enchantment|C|\n|Heat Metal|Transmutation|C|\n|Hold Person|Enchantment|C|\n|Invisibility|Illusion|C|\n|Knock|Transmutation|—|\n|Lesser Restoration|Abjuration|—|\n|Locate Animals or Plants|Divination|R|\n|Locate Object|Divination|C|\n|Magic Mouth|Illusion|R, M|\n|Mirror Image|Illusion|—|\n|See Invisibility|Divination|—|\n|Shatter|Evocation|—|\n|Silence|Illusion|C, R|\n|Suggestion|Enchantment|C|\n|Zone of Truth|Enchantment|—|\n|**Level 3**||| \n|Bestow Curse|Necromancy|C|\n|Clairvoyance|Divination|C, M|\n|Dispel Magic|Abjuration|—|\n|Fear|Illusion|C|\n|Glyph of Warding|Abjuration|M|\n|Hypnotic Pattern|Illusion|C|\n|Major Image|Illusion|C|\n|Mass Healing Word|Abjuration|—|\n|Nondetection|Abjuration|M|\n|Plant Growth|Transmutation|—|\n|Sending|Divination|—|\n|Slow|Transmutation|C|\n|Speak with Dead|Necromancy|—|\n|Speak with Plants|Transmutation|—|\n|Stinking Cloud|Conjuration|C|\n|Tiny Hut|Evocation|R|\n|Tongues|Divination|—|\n|**Level 4**||| \n|Charm Monster|Enchantment|—|\n|Compulsion|Enchantment|C|\n|Confusion|Enchantment|C|\n|Dimension Door|Conjuration|—|\n|Freedom of Movement|Abjuration|—|\n|Greater Invisibility|Illusion|C|\n|Hallucinatory Terrain|Illusion|—|\n|Locate Creature|Divination|C|\n|Phantasmal Killer|Illusion|C|\n|Polymorph|Transmutation|C|\n|**Level 5**||| \n|Animate Objects|Transmutation|C|\n|Awaken|Transmutation|M|\n|Dominate Person|Enchantment|C|\n|Dream|Illusion|—|\n|Geas|Enchantment|—|\n|Greater Restoration|Abjuration|M|\n|Hold Monster|Enchantment|C|\n|Legend Lore|Divination|M|\n|Mass Cure Wounds|Abjuration|—|\n|Mislead|Illusion|C|\n|Modify Memory|Enchantment|C|\n|Planar Binding|Abjuration|M|\n|Raise Dead|Necromancy|M|\n|Scrying|Divination|C, M|\n|Seeming|Illusion|—|\n|Telepathic Bond|Divination|R|\n|Teleportation Circle|Conjuration|M|\n|**Level 6**||| \n|Eyebite|Necromancy|C|\n|Find the Path|Divination|C, M|\n|Guards and Wards|Abjuration|M|\n|Heroes' Feast|Conjuration|M|\n|Irresistible Dance|Enchantment|C|\n|Mass Suggestion|Enchantment|—|\n|Programmed Illusion|Illusion|M|\n|True Seeing|Divination|M|\n|**Level 7**||| \n|Arcane Sword|Evocation|C, M|\n|Etherealness|Conjuration|—|\n|Forcecage|Evocation|C, M|\n|Magnificent Mansion|Conjuration|M|\n|Mirage Arcane|Illusion|—|\n|Prismatic Spray|Evocation|—|\n|Project Image|Illusion|C, M|\n|Regenerate|Transmutation|—|\n|Resurrection|Necromancy|M|\n|Symbol|Abjuration|M|\n|Teleport|Conjuration|—|\n|**Level 8**||| \n|Antipathy/Sympathy|Enchantment|—|\n|Befuddlement|Enchantment|—|\n|Dominate Monster|Enchantment|C|\n|Glibness|Enchantment|—|\n|Mind Blank|Abjuration|—|\n|Power Word Stun|Enchantment|—|\n|**Level 9**||| \n|Foresight|Divination|—|\n|Power Word Heal|Enchantment|—|\n|Power Word Kill|Enchantment|—|\n|Prismatic Wall|Abjuration|—|\n|True Polymorph|Transmutation|C|",
