Talon's Skitmaster - Bard

This is an especially effective spell for a bard, who can summon forth illusions of heroes and monsters, giving real life to his stories. The illusions can appear to do battle, while the caster narrates the scene and adds vocal color where he sees fit.

The caster must mark with a line of sand an area no larger than 20 by 20 feet when the spell is cast. While it is in effect, the caster must remain inside this boundary. To invoke the special abilities of the spell, the caster blinks twice and then states the name of up to six objects and creatures. The caster becomes invisible, and the named objects and creatures appear in his place. For example, the caster can call into being a terrifying troll. The troll has no substance and cannot pass beyond the sandy boundary. Nor can it speak. However, it can move about at the caster's whim, dancing, jumping, and performing feats to impress an audience. The caster can speak during this time, telling a story, singing, or casting spells to enhance the show.

The spell is broken if the caster steps out of the boundary or if the line of sand is broken.

The bard Talon Stringfellow developed this enchantment after years of research and practice, to produce more spectacular and crowd-pleasing performances.
