You can learn the skill from Rappanel in South Serbule. (He's in the inn.) As you advance in Bard skill, you will also need to improve other skills, including performance, vocabulary, and poetry appreciation. Rappanel should give you enough information to proceed at each stage. We need feedback on how easy/hard it is to advance as a bard! We also need feedback on the bard's general abilities and playability. Keep in mind that the bard is designed to be a support character. It is definitely possible to solo with the bard, but it's not going to be as fast as some other skills.

Note: the bardic music tracks are draft versions, not the finalized versions. There are small issues with the looping of some tracks, plus some pops and crackles in a few sound effects. These small issues will be fixed soon.

One other note: Bardic music is implemented as a "performance". This has many subtle ramifications, but one useful feature is that if you tire of hearing the bardic songs, you can go into the Configuration window's Audio tab and reduce the number of audible performers to zero.

Fire Magic is my heart, but I believe there's something beyond it. Something even more deadly. If only I had time to do more research.

=== In-Game Description ===
Using Fire to destroy your enemies. This is a very potent offensive skill, including long-range and area-effect attacks, and even some Cold attacks for versatility.

=== Research Ingredients ===
[[Fire Magic]] is a research based magic, and abilities are unlocked through combining specific ingredients using recipes. The skill can be expensive due to the required ingredients used in spell research: {{Item|Fire Dust}}, {{Item|Saltpeter}}, {{Item|Sulfur}}, {{Item|Explosive Runestone}}. Please see the pages for those ingredients for more information on how to gather them. Researching is ''not'' a lottery, each recipe can only be completed a number of times so the amount of ingredients required is fixed. The research mechanic simply adds a little randomness to the order in which you receive the abilities.

=== Fire Wall ===
An interesting mechanic is that [[Fire Magic]] has a “Fire Wall” pet that just stands around and burns things. It’s implemented as a pet internally, but since it’s a wall, it can’t follow you around. It’s more like a trap. It can also be killed by enemies.
===Equipment===
Not all staffs are produced with the proper runes to handle the use of magic. Casting [[Fire Magic]] requires the use of a [[:Category:Items/FireStaff|Fire Staff]]. Fire Magic wielders may also use an offhand Heat Orb to augment their abilities.
