"Spell," "Power," these things are mechanically very close. There's totally an interaction there with meta-spells like counterspell, though that's easy enough to over-write.Aside from the verbiage, though, what would be required to turn certain spells into "martial powers?" In a lot of cases it seems like it's not actually that much. If the only thing standing in between a bard who is a spellcaster and a bard who uses "martial powers" is the simple language and some possible counterspell stuff, that's not a huge gap to leap. It'd be easy enough to say something like, "this subclass feature allows the use healing word, and when used by this feature it is not considered a magic spell" or "the spells learned by this feature are not magical, using them requires no components, and these effects cannot be dispelled."Not saying that anything does this now, just that it'd be a fairly easy swap to make. Possibly paired with a few more bard/cleric spells that are more easy to interpret without magic in certain circumstances (a la healing word).</blockquote>
