Basically, it would be a craft wondrous item-ish thing, limited to art. Like the portrait that fixes you with a paralyzing gaze (Hold Monster), the grand statue that agitates the hairs on the back of your neck (Scare), the harp that plays irresistably soothing tones (Sleep). Sound good? Basically, it would be Craft Wondrous Item, but the character has to justify it's artinessishness. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />As for casting time . . .I liked the idea of 2 minutes, +2 minutes per spell level. Allows a simple Charm Person or Sleep with a relatively short song. Spells with a higher casting time than 1 round would increase the casting time as follows: 1 full round, +2 minutes; 1 minute, +4 minutes; 10 minutes, +10 minutes; higher than 10 minutes, +14 minutes. Sound good?And, on the note of spells, I might want to add in that the Artist can not cast a spell of a level higher than the highest level spell that they know. No human 1st level bards casting maxamized, empowered Sleep spells, thankyouverrymuch!It's seeming more and more like he needs a spell list. Oh well, I'll get back to you in a minute with that. It will be mostly enchantments, with a bunch of illusions and a couple non-combat transmutations thrown in. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
