I have been focusing on various bigger adjustments of the Bard profession, in an effort to restore the efficiency of the profession and to make it more interesting and versatile. The first part of these changes focuses on Voice, the second part, which will be coming later, will focus on Artistry sketches.

As these changes would likely end up being too powerful in conjunction with the existing version of the mobile sketches, I have adjusted sketches to not use any of the special attacks - all mobile sketches now cause damage, and only damage. Player sketches remain unaffected. This is a temporary change, sketches are going to be very much different once the Artistry changes are released.

These modifications have been made to the Voice skill:

- New ability: Uryem

- New ability: Innyo

- New ability: Paryes

- New ability: Resonance

- New ability: Varaye

- Zriku has been completely reworked

- Kantae is now instant if the target is fully resonating with at least two primordial notes (see the AB helps for details)

- Kantae and Varaye are now blocked by shield

- Removed Maimra, Muamte, Ramallan, and Sianllan, as their functionality is replicated by the new additions

- Equilibrium costs of almost all Voice abilities have been changed

- Mana and willpower costs of some abilities have been lowered

- Power words are now limited to 2 per combo

- Voice combos no longer have a chance to fail

- Llan can now be used on others

- Briah is now single-target by default

- Oyiem no longer cures afflictions

- Myried stun duration has been shortened

- The Torc of Enunciation artifact has been reworked, it now increases yoth duration by 50%

Some of these will likely require further adjustments - please report any bugs and problems that you encounter.
