Alternative (3.5e Spell)

The bard tunes his instrument, then begins playing loud and powerful music from some distant realm, washing away your fear as electrified magic fills the air.

By activating this spell, your next session of bardic music has the following effects:
 * All bonuses to saving throws against fear are quadrupled. If the bardic music effect in question does not provide a bonus against fear, all allies that can hear and see the bard perform now gain a +4 morale bonus to saves against fear for the duration of the performance.
 * Once per round as a free action, the bard may designate one willing ally to take an immediate action to cast any spell with a standard action casting time or less.

Duration, range, and targets affected by the bardic music effect is unaffected by this spell, which ends when the bard music effect ends. Maintaining this spell is a free action once cast.

Focus: An instrument the character has used frequently for the last month in his bardic performances.
