Uncommon Bard Composition Concentrate Focus Fortune Mental
Source Player Core pg. 370
Trigger You or an ally within 60 feet rolls a saving throw against an auditory or visual effect
Area 60-foot emanation

Your performance protects you and your allies. Roll a Performance check for a type you know—it must be an auditory performance if the trigger was auditory or a visual one for a visual trigger, and this action gains the traits for the type of performance. You and allies in the area can use the better result between your Performance check and the saving throw.

Lingering Composition [free-action] Focus 1

Uncommon Bard Concentrate Focus Spellshape
Source Player Core pg. 371

You add a flourish to your composition to extend its benefits. If your next action is to cast a cantrip composition with a duration of 1 round, attempt a Performance check. The DC is usually a standard-difficulty DC of a level equal to the highest-level target of your composition, but the GM can assign a different DC based on the circumstances. The effect depends on the result of your check.

Critical Success The composition lasts 4 rounds.
Success The composition lasts 3 rounds.
Failure The composition lasts 1 round, but you don't spend the Focus Point for casting this spell.

Alarm Spell 1

Concentrate Manipulate
Source Player Core pg. 314
Cast 10 minutes
Range touch; Area 20-foot burst
Duration 8 hours

You ward an area to alert you when creatures enter without your permission. When you cast alarm, select a password. Whenever a Small or larger corporeal creature enters the spell's area without speaking the password, alarm sends your choice of a mental alert (in which case the spell gains the mental trait) or an audible alarm with the sound and volume of a hand bell (in which case the spell gains the auditory trait). Either option automatically awakens you, and the bell allows each creature in the area to attempt a DC 15 Perception check to wake up. A creature aware of the alarm must succeed at a Stealth check against the spell's DC or trigger the spell when moving into the area.

Heightened (3rd) You can specify a trigger for which types of creatures sound the alarm spell, as described in Setting Triggers on page 303.

Bless [two-actions] Spell 1

Aura Concentrate Manipulate Mental
Source Player Core pg. 318
Area 15-foot emanation
Duration 1 minute

Blessings from beyond help your companions strike true. You and your allies gain a +1 status bonus to attack rolls while within the emanation. Once per round on subsequent turns, you can Sustain the spell to increase the emanation's radius by 10 feet. Bless can counteract bane.

Soothe [two-actions] Spell 1

Concentrate Emotion Healing Manipulate Mental
Source Player Core pg. 357
Range 30 feet; Targets 1 willing creature
Duration 1 minute

You grace the target's mind, boosting its mental defenses and healing its wounds. The target regains 1d10+4 Hit Points when you Cast the Spell and gains a +2 status bonus to saves against mental effects for the duration.

Heightened (+1) The amount of healing increases by 1d10+4.

Spirit Link [two-actions] Spell 1

Concentrate Healing Manipulate Spirit
Source Player Core pg. 358
Range 30 feet; Targets 1 willing creature
Duration 10 minutes

You form a spiritual link with another creature, taking in its pain. When you Cast this Spell and at the start of each of your turns, if the target is below maximum Hit Points, it regains 2 Hit Points (or the difference between its current and maximum Hit Points, if that's lower). You lose as many Hit Points as the target regained.

This is a spiritual transfer, so no effects apply that would increase the Hit Points the target regains or decrease the Hit Points you lose. This transfer also ignores any temporary Hit Points you or the target have. Since this effect doesn't involve vitality or void energy, spirit link works even if you or the target is undead. While the duration persists, you gain no benefit from regeneration or fast healing. You can Dismiss this spell, and if you're ever at 0 Hit Points, spirit link ends automatically.

Heightened (+1) The number of Hit Points transferred each time increases by 2.

Cast [two-actions] somatic, verbal
Range 120 feet
Duration sustained

You create up to four floating lights, no two of which are more than 10 feet apart. Each sheds light like a torch. When you Sustain the Spell, you can move any number of lights up to 60 feet. Each light must remain within 120 feet of you and within 10 feet of all others, or it winks out.

Detect Magic [two-actions] Cantrip 1

Cantrip Concentrate Detection Manipulate
Source Player Core pg. 323
Area 30-foot emanation

You send out a pulse that registers the presence of magic. You receive no information beyond the presence or absence of magic. You can choose to ignore magic you're fully aware of, such as the magic items and ongoing spells of you and your allies.

You detect illusion magic only if that magic's effect has a lower rank than the rank of your detect magic spell. However, items that have an illusion aura but aren't deceptive in appearance (such as an invisibility potion) typically are detected normally.

Heightened (3rd) You learn the rank or level of the most powerful magical effect the spell detects, as determined by the GM.
Heightened (4th) As 3rd rank, but you also pinpoint the source of the highest-rank magic. Like for an imprecise sense, you don't learn the exact location, but can narrow down the source to within a 5-foot cube (or the nearest if larger than that).
