Death's Dancer

“

Will you dance with Death, or do you fear Death's call?

”

Prerequisite: Songweaver

You have practiced the arts of the dance of death, and have learned how to use your blade in tune with the songweaver's art. Your blade dances in your hand with the might of death, and hums with Death's arcane song, taking its place as your instrument. Your foes fall to song and dancing steel, but you know that death could call you too if you do not dance well enough.
