Bardic Magic
Bardic Magic PHB == Players Handbook Cantrip * Besetting Dance * Blade Ward (PHB) * Discordant * Ethereal Instrument * It
The path to attain immortality. Since the Legendary Heroes and Immortals broke the heavens and freed the Divine Tree of Immortality from the grip of the heavens, this path is open to everyone. However, the path of cultivation is still going against the natural order and fraught with difficulty, and sometimes despair.
Note to players. If you take this special prestige class, please make sure you know what you are getting into.
Everything to advance and grow with this prestige class requires in-game play and acquisition of immortal power through heaven and earth treasures, alchemy and other means.
Experience you gain in game cannot be used with this class.
Expect some paperwork and luck to truly raise the class to its highest level and achieve immortality.

Cultivator Prestige class does not provide equipment.
Some cultivation paths require you to temper your flesh, bone, organs, spirit or mind. Others require you to temper the path, such as swords, elements, etc. You do so via immortal power. The right combination of tempering opens up different cultivation bodies or paths, each with a different power.
Eating your way to immortal power is the fastest way but requires a lot of resources, natural and alchemy.
Remolding is reversing a tempering process.
One of the schisms that ushered in the conflict between the heavens (gods) and the Immortals & Legendary Heroes was when the immortal Mosmir began eaching the eightfold path to mortals in large settings. Any mortal was allowed to listen in and hear how they could take on the way of cultivaton and seek immortality.
It still stands as the most well known and common path to begin one's treck to immortality. Unlike any other method, it teaches the basics to every path of cultivation, including a secretive eighth path that is said to be revealed when one has mastered all its secrets to the maximum level.
The path adopted by most loose (non-sect) cultivators.
An introductory method that does not allow progression beyond LEVEL 1, but does allow achieving Level 1 in all known paths. Those who follow this method used the title "martial disciple" in regards to their method.
Note This method does not work with any other cultivation method. It cannot be used as a foundation or additional method for another method.
Each path lists the appropriate amount of Immortal power required to gain the listed power.
