Does anyone have some experience with it?

Sadly not. But I found a really good review for it that has me intrigued in picking it up.

Reading it now. It reminds me of D&D Story Mode in its magic system, but I’m not sure about the Perks, which I don’t think are what I’m looking for.

So, I finally picked up the book and am giving it a skim-through. It's very interesting, so far.

I even have a build idea, already. There are two perks that seem to stack perfectly:

Harmonic Resonance ("You can use a Musical Instrument as a Trinket. When you do, you can Cast with a delivery of Aura or Cone if you otherwise couldn't, and you spend 1 less Mana on Aura and Cone delivery. This Casting still creates sound.")

Singer ("You can use your voice as a Musical Instrument. If you are capable of singing, you are considered to have a Musical Instrument Equipped.")

So with both (if I am reading this correctly): as long as you can sing, you can Cast.

I'm not sure just how beneficial that actually IS (beyond the obvious utility of Casting hands-free), but it sounds fun.

I just need to figure out which class this fits the best. Bards don't seem to be casters in this system, so the obvious option is out (though Singer would still be useful to one)...
